Scene Four: Beyond This Life
Dream Theater

Headline, Murder, young girl killed

Desperate shooting at Echo's Hill

Dreadful ending, killer died

Evidently suicide


A witness heard a horrifying sound

He ran to find a woman dead and lying on the ground


Standing by her was a man

Nervous, shaking, gun in hand

Witness says he tried to help

But he'd turned the weapon on himself


His body fell across that poor young girl

After shooting out in vain

The witness ran to call for assistance

A sad close to a broken love affair


Our deeds have traveled far

What we have been is what we are

Our deeds have traveled far

What we have been is what we are


She wanted love forever

But he had another plan

He fell into an evil way she had to let him down

She said, I can't love a wayward man


She may have found a reason to forgive, oh yeah yeah

If he had only tried to change

Was their fatal meeting prearranged?


Had a violent struggle taken place?

There was every sign that lead there

Witness found a switchblade on the ground

Was the victim unaware?



They continued to investigate

They found a note in the killer's pocket

It could have been a suicide letter

Maybe he had lost her love


I feel there's only one thing left to do

I'd sooner take my life away than live with losing you


Our deeds have traveled far

What we have been is what we are

Our deeds have traveled far

What we have been is what we are


All that we learn this time

(What we have been is what we are)

Is carried beyond this life

All that we learn this time

(What we have been is what we are)

Is carried beyond this life


Our deeds have traveled far

What we have been is what we are

Our deeds have traveled far

What we have been is what we are


All that we learn this time

(What we have been is what we are)

Is carried beyond this life

All that we learn this time

(What we have been is what we are)

Is carried beyond this life
