Dream Theater - Scene Three: II. Fatal Tragedy Lyrics

Get a good buzz going, turn off the lights, listen to album on noise canceling headphones, close your eyes and get lost in a musical, emotional, rollercoaster that will have you raging and crying and everything in between.

4:20 Dance of eternity solo synth cover

This album carried my soul all the way through to the light when love of my life broke up with me... With only good memories.

impressive. most impressive

Wonder why no producer ever cut/faded the song at around the 4:25 mark or so. That could've been a hit single. While the guitar work is maestro level I feel it's too overbearing and drowned out a good melodic tune that could've been a single.

I understand what you are saying but its because DT didnt let that kinda bullshit get through to them they made the music they wanted not what mass audience's would find appealing.

Have you heard Dream Theater my man

Because it'd be a complete sin to remove that eargasm of a breakdown and guitar/keyboard solo!

The use of breakdown in this song is sooooo good. Very well placed and balanced compared to other bands that came after DT.

I don't know about you, but James LaBrie's repeated breathing in the beginning just cracks me up because it's sooooo obvious lol

Labrie the Phantom of the Theater

Captain Deadeye Oh, you want singers who breath? Matt Bellamy and Thom Yorke. They really incorporate their breathing into their vocal style.

Link it to the world *_gasp_*
Link it to yourself *_gasp_*
Stretch it like a birth squeeze *_gasp_*

I always get major “Nightmare Before Christmas” vibes at the start of this one lol

I feel like the older man is the reincarnation of Julian...

Interesting theory for sure! That’s why this album is so killer! It’s very open to interpretation:)

Present

Nicholas:
Alone at night
I feel so strange
I need to find
All the answers to my dreams

When I sleep at night
I hear the cries
What does this mean?

I shut the door and traveled to another home
I met an older man, he seemed to be alone
I felt that I could trust him
He talked to me that night

''Lad did you know a girl was murdered here?
''This fatal tragedy was talked about for years''
Victoria's gone forever
Only memories remain
She passed away
She was so young

Without love
Without truth
There can be no turning back

Without faith
Without hope
There can be no peace of mind

As the night went on
I started to find my way
I learned about a tragedy
A mystery still today

I tried to get more answers
But he said, ''You're on your own. ''
Then he turned away and left me
As I stand there all alone
He said, ''You'll know the truth
As you future days unfold, unfold''

Without love
Without truth
There can be no turning back

Without faith
Without hope
There can be no peace of mind

Insane guitar, as always

Alone at night
I feel so strange
I need to find
All the answers to my dreams

When I sleep at night
I hear the cries
What does this mean?

I shut the door and traveled to another home
I met an older man, he seemed to be alone
I felt that I could trust him
He talked to me that night;

"Lad did you know a girl was murdered here?"
"This fatal tragedy was talked about for years"
Victoria`s gone forever
Only memories remain
She passed away
She was so young

Without love
Without truth
There can be no turning back

Without faith
Without hope
There can be no peace of mind

As the night went on
I started to find my way
I learned about a tragedy
A mystery still today

I tried to get more answers
But he said, "You`re on your own"
Then he turned away and left me
As I stand there all alone
He said, "You`ll know the truth
As your future days unfold"

Without love
Without truth
There can be no turning back

Without faith
Without hope
There can be no peace of mind

"Now it`s time to see how you died. Remember that death
is not the end but only a transition."

Best song on the album.
That's saying a lot.
:)

This and Beyond This Life 👌

Clinton VanScoy Definitely Spirit Carries On has its fun, easy to follow song structure with those awesome lyrics. Overture 1928 and Strange Deja Vu has the lydian sound. This is just such a great album.

the best song on this album is regression and it sucks, that just shows you how shitty Dream theatre is since this is considered their best album. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
