Dream Theater A Broken Man Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Feel the heat intensify
Steel piercing the skin
Sky on fire electrified
War inside begins
Wrought with guilt abandoning
Comrades lying still
Soulless eyes stare back at me
Broken, sick I feel
[Chorus]
What of the dreams?
A haunting curse (A haunting curse)
Toxic and bleak, I'm getting worse
Dead inside
Though I've tried
I know I am
A broken man

[Verse 2]
Swaying, praying
Trying to escape
Laughing, crying
More than one can take
Haunting, taunting
Will not let me be
Hypnotizing
And not letting go of me

[Verse 3]
Stranglehold, dreams unfold
Helpless, can't break free
Memories, blood red sky
Rain down on me
Battle cry, war inside
Senseless tragedy
Shock and awe, numb and raw
Suffocating me Nightmare, will this never end?
Flashback, I'm unravelling
Misery can't break free
Wasted lives cast aside
[Chorus]
What of the dreams?
A haunting curse (A haunting curse)
Toxic and bleak, I'm getting worse
Dead inside
Though I've tried
I know I am
A broken man

[Instrumental Break]

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
What of the dreams?
What can I learn? (What can I learn?)
Nor can erase
Forever burn (Forever burn)
What of the dreams?
Inflamed and torn (Inflamed and torn)
And now I wish I had never been born (Never been born)
All is lost
I've done all I can I swear
This cross is mine to bare
[Outro]
Broken man
Only one remedy
He waits patiently
Peaceful and free for eternity

[Instrumental Outro]
