The Killing Hand Lyrics - When Dream And Day Unite - Dream Theater

[i. the observance] 

an angel's kiss now fallen 

descending scarlet cuts the sky 

faded names left on the wall 

honor the fighting leave life to 

die 

Remembered is the sacrifice but 

no praisal of blood still flowing 

who were the leaders? 

what controlled the killing hand 

that caused this mouthing? 

Crossing over... 

[ii. ancient renewal] 

lowered deep into the sea 

being a waits to cleanse his soul 

senses weakening time is still 

motionless by stiffening cold 

The wheels race back and 

scorch his mind 

travelling all to find the land 

revelation warms a touch 

and now he will begin to 

understand 

[iii. the stray seed] 

extended a view to yesterday 

manifestation for none the same 

walking amidst a frightening still 

no sound, no smoke, no scorching 

flames 

He is risen... 

Sipping his poison the raven sings 

yet another to add more bodies 

fallen 

king from below 

this one controls 

the killing hand that caused this 

mourning 

Is it all over? 

[iv. thorns] 

evil genius this secret plan 

mercy dealt with the losing hand 

will he ever fall? 

can he end it all? 

our savior must make his stand 

Only a propher of years to come 

wanting mortality i'm all alone 

he heard my voice 

it was my choice 

i've stopped the killing hand 

[v. exodus] 

when i go back again 

will it be the same? 

i've stopped the cries 

but now they know my name 

The sea is calling me 

my spirit must return 

as i get closer, 

was it really worth 

what i have learned? 

I'm in the valley 

and the saddened chimes i hear 

race towards the wall to find 

one more name appears 

No one is left now 

my one and only land 

i laugh at what i've done 

i am the killing hand
