Dream Theater - In the Arms of Morpheus/Night Terror

I. In the Arms of Morpheus

[instrumental]

II. Night Terror

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: James LaBrie]
Spiders seeking shelter
Fading with the dawn
Vanishing at sunrise
As morning light shines on

[Verse 2: James LaBrie]
Sacrificial martyr
Victim dressed in white
Headed for the slaughter
Angels cry for her tonight

[Pre-Chorus 1: James LaBrie & Mike Portnoy, James LaBrie]
To the cross at the stake
To the lions on the rack I break
I break

[Chorus: James LaBrie, John Petrucci & Mike Portnoy, James LaBrie]
Night terror, hysteria
Nocturnal trial by fire
Eyes open wide but I can't see
[Verse 3: James LaBrie]
Mind awake, body at rest
Drifting through sleep transition
Borderland state, swimming through waves
Sensory dream condition
Without warning, I fall down the bottomless well
Flesh is crawling, need to climb my way out of this hell

[Pre-Chorus 2: James LaBrie & Mike Portnoy, James LaBrie]
By the sword on the wheel
Twisting in the wind
Pierce the silence with a scream
Why can't I remember anything?
Anything?

[Chorus: James LaBrie, John Petrucci & Mike Portnoy, James LaBrie]
Night terror, hysteria
Nocturnal trial by fire
Eyes open wide but I can't see

[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar and Keyboard Unison]
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: James LaBrie, John Petrucci & Mike Portnoy, James LaBrie]
Night terror, hysteria
Nocturnal trial by fire
Eyes open wide but I can't see
Night terror, hysteria
Nocturnal trial by fire
Eyes open wide but I can't see
I can't see
[Instrumental Outro]
