Matt bradley - lead vocals      (gardner solo)   (petrucci solo)      In just a moment your life can slip away   Wasting time by wasting chances   When all that's left here is emptiness and hope   It's always darkest before the dawn will show      So I've got to stay right   Just to see it   I've got to rise up and be much more      There's nothing's new here   My impact fading fast   Why seize the hour if I can not make it last   The cynics laugh hard and the pundits write away   The music's dying but it's epitaph will say   It's not over yet   Just to see it   I've got to rise up and be   And be so much more   Believe I know it   I've got to be right...      (petrucci solo)      There's a light at the end   But a darkness begins   As I take the task at hand   For the glimpse that I see   Is all that I need   Just to try and understand   Why my fate has let it stand   Feel the meaning of power   The meaning of fear   But it's death that's chasing me fast   So who really gives a damn   If I make it at all   I'm just another one that's passed   The pain of a marathon that lasts...      (petrucci solo)
