Dream Theater - Lost Not Forgotten Lyrics






I am not immortal
I am just a man
A power-craving tyrant
Beyond the shadows in the sand

Men have come to fear me
Many bow and cry
Known across the desert
I am the one who will not die

I have faced the demons of our most desperate moments
I have been the one to defend our pride
I have worn the banner of my abandoned brothers
I will be the first one to give my life

Lost not forgotten
Reigning against the odds
Feared and respected living among the gods
Leading the empire
Spirit as black as coal
Lost not forgotten
King of the deathless soul

An epic novel no one's read
Pages torn and faded
The greatest story never told

Behold the kingdom I possess
Land of wealth and beauty
Where the streets are paved with gold

Once fearless and brave
A realm passed away
The ghosts of yesterday

Lost not forgotten
Reigning against the odds
Feared and respected living among the gods
Leading the empire
Spirit as black as coal
Lost not forgotten
King of the deathless soul

Lost not forgotten
Reigning against the odds
Feared and respected living among the gods
Leading the empire
Brutal and heartless
Vanishing further
Into the darkness
Lost not forgotten
King of the deathless soul

  10. S.... A....

    i'M n0T a mOd3l

  11. B.... K....

    It's a great surprise how they created and composed extraordinary musical sound and song.

  12. U.... ....

    Nice heavy riffs

  13. L.... A....

    Fucking labrie...lol

  14. B.... F....

    8:00 that whammy tho

  15. G.... N....

    Voice James Labrie is great...

  16. T.... M....

    John Myung may have the vein-iest arms I've ever seen

  17. p.... ....

    So epic!!!

  18. J.... Q....

    I was there, epic concert. I love DT Forever!!!. Best band of the world :D

  19. �.... ....

    띵-곡

  20. J.... B....

    *john petrucci busts outs incredible sequence*

    camera: *shows anything but that*

  21. A.... D....

    I hate the snare drum sound and the lower level on bass drum! but the execution is almost perfect!

  22. N.... K....

    Meh that just sounds like a muddy mess with that chorus effect on John's tone, sorry, I don't like it. Don't get me wrong I LOVE THIS SONG I just don't like his guitar tone here.

  23. M.... O....

    Lost Not Forgotten is truly the 21st century's Under A Glass Moon. Really, check out the similarities:
    - Melodic intro consisting of few overdriven sound ringing off
    - Chorus with the double bass entering the second time
    - Virtuosic guitar solo over alternate time signature and nothing except the bass as the backing track
    Just listen to both pieces and find those details yourself

    M.... O....

    Oh, I would've nearly forgotten to mention a few more:
    - The "breakdown" after the second chorus being a synchronized melody of guitar and keyboard transcending into a more upbeat riff immediately before the guitar solo
    - The keyboard kicks in after John finishes the solo (except that it's Jordan instead of Kevin this time)
    - Another guitar-keyboard progression after the solo and the last chorus kicking in right afterwards
    - Finishing with the same intro riff
    I hope they were waiting for a Dream Theater nerd like me to notice those easter eggs 😁

    M.... O....

    Totally
    And I just realized there`s a mix between the 1st and 2nd night shots, just look at petrucci`s left leg during the hole solo :( Continuity issues xD

  24. 2.... ....

    How could you not like this song

  25. S.... k....

    Performances like these make me deny fact that no one's perfect... Damn these dudes are more than just perfect. Labrie, Petrucci, Myung, Mike and Mike are the best.

  26. S.... ....

    2:59 "I am not immortal, I am just a man" well i'm not sure after PETRUCCI's opening.. damn

  27. B.... K....

    https://youtu.be/I_ogIo9eTE4

  28. A.... F....

    LaBrie says: "I am not a model ; I am just dement..."

  29. M.... ....

    What the fuck why the hell is petrucci this op?

  30. J.... A....

    The fuuuckk. They're using clips from different concerts; watch Petrucci's solo; one minute he's got his leg up, then minute he's standing far from the stand, and it keeps switching between the two positions he's standing in. WTF.

  31. P.... H....

    wtf at 2:10? tight and technical af

  32. M.... V....

    06:03 I fell in love with a woman I will never see :'(

    M.... V....

    The only woman in all of prog Metal fandom

  33. M.... O....

    Man i think ADTOE and the self titled album are the best albums on the post-portnoy era

  34. r.... f....

    mike manggini drum sound like a midi sound, flat and low power

    bring back portnoy please

    r.... f....

    rudy ferdian portnoy gabisa main lagu ini bro sorry wkwk

    r.... f....

    rudy ferdian Fuck off

    r.... f....

    The saddest thing of all it's that this is without a doubt the best sounding drum kit ever heard from Mangini since he is in DT...

  35. m.... c....

    No parece publico argentino...

  36. s.... z....

    2:45 They are so cool :D

  37. D.... F....

    Octave-skip tritone pattern indeed,dear brother #Pier Luc-Tardif ! Saw this Tour in jaw dropped awe mode #2013 ! DREAM THEATER , THE GREATEST BAND in MUSIC HISTORY !

  38. M.... V....

    6:34 far beyond 4x4

  39. A.... P....

    Is this song talking about Ottoman Empire?

    A.... P....

    The whole concept of the album is about Syrian war and Arabian spring in general. It's for recognition of the brave people of the Middle East during hard times.

  40. L.... S....

    11 People Disliked it !?
    really ?

  41. P.... T....

    Seriously, does this song have anything to do with Portnoy ???

  42. M.... W....

    DT makes me ride Enduro faster! I never race without them! I take them on all my rides. The more I listen to them the better they get! As a drummer, watching Mangini is pure magic! To get prospective Ian Pace in a video tells Chad Smith how he met this amazing drummer who showed him the one handed roll and of course he is talking about Mangini!!! Ian Pace a superstar talking about the Masterclass ! Just hoping to get another album 🙂from them.

  43. E.... w....

    John has completely lost his original prog sound after this Tour...
    Many will bark but the new sound with jp2c and majestys are foul of gain w/o soul ..

    E.... w....

    You sir are a degenerate

  44. H.... ....

    Jesus! this polyrhythmic intro drives me crazy!

  45. S.... D....

    im the 666th likers!

  46. p.... a....

    the girl who like dream theater is worth for marriage

  47. M.... M....

    07:39 lol

  48. S.... J....

    john petrucci is fucking goooood!!!

  49. g.... p....

    love you dream theater forever !!!

  50. Y.... C....

    OBRA DE ARTE!

  51. A.... T....

    One of the most incredible intro's you will even hear to undoubtedly, one of THE most incredible songs ever written!

  52. T.... ....

    2:11 Dream Theater briefly turns into a tech death band.

    T.... ....

    Dream Theater meets Rings of Saturn

    T.... ....

    Pier-Luc Tardif amazing band too, I Love the new song Macrocosm

    T.... ....

    Absolutely! Thats what i thought too!

  53. K.... S....

    this song equals the hype of Breaking all illusions, and Dance of eternity imo.

    K.... S....

    we oooo weee!!!!!

  54. S.... M....

    That speed

  55. F.... C....

    Very Nice (y) Amazing... (y)

  56. P.... T....

    amazing. if i didn´t see this live video, i was totally sure that first intro were only done it on the studio..this band surprise us everytime, they mágicals!

  57. J.... ....

    dream theater no necesita a portnoi

  58. L.... J....

    8:20 - God that's a powerful riff

  59. Y.... ....

    One of the best songs of the post Portnoy era...

    Y.... ....

    Chris Smith hi can i know where to buy official books (phisical or pdf) for dream theater keyboard score please?

    Y.... ....

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0739086693/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Amazon is where I bought the Dramatic Turn of Events book. This is specifically piano sheet music and lyric melodies. No guitar tabs. But I'm sure those are on Amazon somewhere also. I also bought Jordan's MorphWiz app from the app store for 10 bucks. It's AMAZING if you are into that kind of synth stuff. He uses it on several songs like the beginning of the intro to On the Backs of Angels. So if you wanna play that part, you will need the app but the notes are in this book.

    Y.... ....

    Thanks my freind :3

    Y.... ....

    Yes indeed, and here an epic live performance.. perfect done

    Y.... ....

    @Chris Smith It's my fav album too and I also bought the piano sheet lol

  60. c.... ....

    this band is illegally talented

  61. P.... ....

    man that's tight

  62. �.... ....

    2:45 myung is so cool~~

  63. I.... T....

    H O L Y F U C K . I just realized this song matches the new star wars movie perfectly. The story of Snoke, if he is indeed darth plagueis. HOLY FUCK. 90% of the verses are identical to his character. HOLY FUCK HOLY FUCK

  64. P.... T....

    2:10 that octave-skip tritone pattern is insane

    P.... T....

    is it normal speed camera? very fast!

  65. S.... O....

    5:48 "C'mon!" with no microphone. Nice Trick Labrie!

    S.... O....

    +Sergio Otero Loooooooooooool xD And don't forget that he have 2 or 3 Throats for the live choirs xD

    S.... O....

    +Sergio Otero lol that's petrucci not labrie

  66. H.... F....

    Li-sa X brought me here

  67. S.... W....

    my favorite songs of ever

  68. E.... T....

    These guys aren't humans.

  69. T.... S....

    Like under a glass moon but its more complicated and Sick...
    Mangini can play this part so well...Talented Drummer and powerfull...
    Petrucci is God of Guitar...John Myung can make a balance on Petrucci solo, and Jordan you like a Alien from mars...
    James great vokal and deserve to be a maestro....
    Dream Theater its my Favorite bands ever...nothing can be change...

  70. T.... ....

    9:58 one of the best DT song endings, really majestic

  71. D.... M....

    This song is so fucking similar musically to "under a glass moon"

    D.... M....

    C'mon, all ADTOE is a reworking of IaW. I won't repeat what Thiago Campos said, but he is right...

    D.... M....

    +David Mejia V (Web ON) no .....
    there is something similar in style , but the notes are totally different

    D.... M....

    @Cagliostro zx
    Quite similar in structure indeed

    D.... M....

    +Ian Mustafa ...ok ok, Structure, style, "atmosphere"..
    but this song is not "fucking similar" musically to under a glass moon...

    D.... M....

    I remember I heard before that ADTOE was written thinking like Images and Words, and I listened to this song and looking at the structure, inmediately realised it was very similar to Under a Glass Moon

  72. A.... C....

    From 2:06 til 2:44...if you can nail that live you're automatically a badass... 2:53 bust out the "f#ck yeah" face...then continue to rock!!! JP nails it! THEN play the solo note for note.  Best performance.. correction ONE of the many best performances of this band live! :)

  73. d.... r....

    2:10 onward it's simply unbelievable

  74. I.... T....

    probably the most techincally skilled band in the world

    I.... T....

    Spiral is Awesome! Almost everwhelming at times. Take the top 10% of DT's technicality, and mix it with insane aggression. 

    I.... T....

    +Zhunter jake Have you not heard The Odyssey, Divine Wings of Tragedy, Through the Looking Glass, Rediscovery pt. 2, The Accolade or The Edge of Forever? If not, you should check those songs out!

    I.... T....

    I know AAL

    I.... T....

    The aristocrats joined the chat

    I.... T....

    These guys are awesome! I'm just now getting into them and this is like hardcore jazz! I love it.

  75. �.... �....

    mangini is just out of this world

  76. W.... H....

    This has always been my least favorite DT song for some reason.

    W.... H....

    @Will Horton Wow, I have to know what your favorite song is cuz I have been following DT since I got struck by the proverbial lightening when I saw /met them, during their Scenes from a memory pt. 2 tour! (15 yrs.) but for some reason this is the song that strikes my musical opiate chord ! We can't all like the same things but if we both like DT, then out of respect I need to know what song of theirs strikes your bell. Carpe Diem my brother, Will !

    W.... H....

    @Michael Erik Von Hartung A Change of Seasons is my favorite song ever. It means alot to me personally.

  77. s.... ....

    The crowds are shit everyone recording and dont enjoy the live moment.If i was there i will kick some ass.DT good as heaven.

    s.... ....

    @secio95 I feel as if you have something really poignant to say ! So I want to ask you to rephrase it so I can get your gist. Thanks

    s.... ....

    secio95 People pay for it, they do what they want.

  78. E.... S....

    take the time

    E.... S....

    @Elias Sanchez noooo actually Pull Me Under

    E.... S....

    @Guido Perdomo *Actually, Under a Glass Moon

  79. K.... S....

    "I am not immortal" yeah sure Petrucci the Overlord, very funny. But you sure take delight on eating dragon wings and newborn babies to fuel your immortality. lol

    K.... S....

    @Kevin Stevens Don't forget using his shred to adjust the speed of Earth's rotation... :)

    K.... S....

    Dont forget he can release the killer bees

  80. a.... ....

    their solos are flawless even live... their technical mastery is on another level...
    and labrie sings just fine... haters need to really stop spazzing out because they can't undrestand the difference between live and studio...
    labrie doesn't sing the same  everytime, because he tries to "live the song" differently every time...
    he is no brent smith vocally, but he is quite above legit

    a.... ....

    Yea,in root of all evil. LaBrie is awesome

  81. a.... l....

    Perso non dimenticato? Che titolo è? \m/

  82. D.... C....

    omg those solos r beautiful

  83. S.... S....

    they have to kick Labri ...

    S.... S....

    @skatehsb listen to pull me under live .... he doesn't even sing right, damn it ! I LOVE DT but Labri fucking up their great work .

    S.... S....

    @Seif Führer His studio work is still fine. Maybe he just can't go for hours on end live anymore.

    S.... S....

    And the band would totally suck, the legacy would fade away as it has happened quite a bit with Portnoy's leaving... Great bands aren't just about having the best ones... Labrie's voice is a big benchmark... DT's fans are boring as hell and you are a good example (kidding :-))

    S.... S....

    @Seif Führer  can't imagine any DT song without his voice....i hated him but literally his voice grows in you

    S.... S....

    Seif Souli
    its their thing to decide not yours

  84. L.... L....

    I'm Dream Theater, I'm Great.

  85. C.... O....

    I AM NOT IMMORTAL
