DREAM THEATER - BEYOND THIS LIFE Lyrics

6) Scene Four: Beyond This Life (11:22)- John Petrucci[Past]Headline: "Murder, young girl killedDesperate shooting at Echo's HillDreadful ending, killer diedEvidently suicide."A witness heard a horrifying soundHe ran to find a woman dead andLying on the groundStanding by her was a manNervous, shaking, gun in handWitness says he tried to helpBut he'd turned the weapon on himselfHis body fell across that poor young girlAfter shouting out in vainThe witness ran to call for assistanceA sad close to a broken love affairOur deeds have traveled farWhat we have been is what we areOur deeds have traveled farWhat we have been is what we areShe wanted love foreverBut he had another planHe fell into an evil wayShe had to let him downShe said, "I can't love a wayward man."She may have found a reason to forgiveIf he had only tried to changeWas their fatal meeting prearranged?Had a violent struggle taken place?There was every sign that lead thereWitness found a switchblade on the groundWas the victim unaware?They continued to investigateThey found a note in the killer's pocketIt could have been a suicide letterMaybe he had lost her loveI feel there's only one thing left to doI'd sooner take my life awayThan live with losing youOur deeds have traveled farWhat we have been is what we areOur deeds have traveled farWhat we have been is what we areAll that we learn this time(What we have been is what we are)Is carried beyond this lifeAll that we learn this time(What we have been is what we are)Is carried beyond this lifeOur deeds have traveled farWhat we have been is what we areOur deeds have traveled farWhat we have been is what we areAll that we learn this time(What we have been is what we are)Is carried beyond this lifeAll that we learn this time(What we have been is what we are)Is carried beyond this life
