Dream Theater - The Ministry Of Lost Souls Lyrics

Hauntingly beautiful!

Nostalgia. :')

Wow!! Epic Song! It remembers me a personal growth period. I Love you DT!!!

Wani....

i sadly ignored this album for too long. grateful i re-discovered it tonight. bless each and every one of you.

that cover is just, wow. Makes me nolstalgic and sad and lit at the same time. Sparks so much memory and thoughts. Just beyond music

The Transitions in this song is awesome....only true music lovers can detect it.....rock on!

I love zombie from Cranberries :) oh wait, wrong video ?

This masterpiece deserves millions of views

Wedus gembel.. inisih keren

Tlem ka e a...nalh reuh ltk

Don't turn Your back on paradise <3

Going to see them on October 24th 2019...can't wait!!!!!!

Going to see them again on my third road trip with them on the 5th and 6th Feb.2020 here in Germany...…...this song hits a spot that can not be touched.....BEAUTIFUL!...…..hope U enjoyed it!

Saw them April 22nd, first concert ever and easily the most exciting day of my life, this is late, but I hope you had a great time and made amazing memories.

cOPy right zombie xd melody and harmony

Una volta nel lontano 2007 io dicevo che era brutto questo disco. Ora lo ascolto con piacere. I Dream Theater erano e sono dei miti

Which mode is the solo in? It sounds so "out of place" and weird, but I love it. Anyone?

Rate my tiny portion of this guitar cover please, more coming soon! 🎸

So, it was this song what made me addicted to doing homework!

I was really disappointed when this CD came out...But Damn....It grow on me so much that I today think it's one of their best..!!!! 😉

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard..Can't stop listening to it now..

Once upon a time, when all of DT's tracks were different; and did not sound like fucking drum machine.

petrucci is just a genius. not only did he write these guitar parts but lyrics also.

Great song, great music

My favorite DT song!!!

"dont turn your back on Paradise"...paradise is a Persian word (pardis) not heaven, it means a garden walled in or enclosed garden referring to the Garden of Eden...its what the thief on the cross asked Yeshua.."remember me when you come into your kingdom." ..Yeshua said "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise." ;)

8:34 i love riffs like these, so fuckin groovy

Why I can’t listen to it on Itunes, anyone with a hint?

☮️❤️

beautiful song. amazing instrumentals as usual

2019 🤘

Living in a world without love is living in a world of underappreciated music.

Her telefona sen çık
Her kapıya sen koş
Beni hatırla
Sen bir yerlerde, ben bir şehirde
Akşam olunca beni hatırla

Remember me i gave you life...

112 people are lost souls

"Even in death I gave you life". I know DT isn't religious, but that really reminds me of Jesus.

Aren't they? According to others most of them are.

The best of music... 🎶
a melhor de todos os tempos ...
2019 e estou aqui ouvindo a música que marcou minha vida!!!

The beginning of this song is insane to try and make

This song is so fucking intense that everytime I hear some weird goosebumps pops up all over my body I don't really know why...

That means you're inspired. In the moment when you get goosebumps, you're totally connected with and vibing to the intentional purpose of the music. Getting chills is one of the best parts of listening to music in general for me.

Rush :) 06:35

12:44 mengingatkanku saat perpisahan(

Probably the most polarizing song to DT fans. Personally it’s one of my favorites ever. I’ve seen so many people mention it as their favorite DT song, and so many say it’s one of their least favorite (I guess due to the slow tempo of the first half).

This part is not up for debate though. The outro has and will always be one of the greatest guitar melodies ever composed, over one of the best chord progressions ever. Aside from the Octavarium ending and The Best of Times solo, it’s just one of their best moments. Oh, and Systematic Chaos is underrated!

I've made my mind up that Systematic Chaos and Six degrees are purchases I want to make. I just listened to this album full now and it's pretty great, why dont people like it?

I believe a lot of people just think the album lacks soul and feeling. A lot of Petrucci’s solos are more technical than emotional, and I think this is one thing that bothers people. Also, many people do not like The Ministry of Lost Souls, and that makes up a large chunk of the album. I love this album though. Ministry and In the Presence of Enemies 1 + 2 make up half of the album alone, and they are amazing songs

If you feel utterly useless ...... Think about how the dreamtheater dislike button feels.

This is without a doubt one of the best songs ever made. We should send a golden DT-plate into space.

How about a large box filled with DT's discography on Vinyl and CD, including the technology to play it. We also need a way to update if new albums come out

@Sir SpookyBones Deal.
You mean like an invitation to a "welcome on earth 20XX" concert each year for visitors from outer space with an option to get all the albums for free funded by fans?

I think we just rescued the planet and made invaders to friends ;)

Truly a masterpiece a brilliant work from masters of their profession the words and the haunting sound grabs you and pulls you in and keeps you spellbound well done Gentlemen I tip my hat to you

Who's harmonizing with LaBrie?

He does it himself.

is there two character in this song? she , he = you and i ? btw can someone ẽxplain to me what happen with them?

the intro reminds the Turkish song called "Beni Hatırla" by Nazan Öncel (1995)

Why do people generally shit on systematic chaos? Or the late 2000s erea of DT it's So Good!

canzone bellissima....emozionante ed epica

Why only half a million views for a masterpiece much better than Bohemian Rhapsody, Stairway to Heaven etc!!!!

This is not supported by music industry...and because regular people doesnt like progressive and even less,the dont like long songs..it's a pity but is the way it works

0:52 best intro ever

Awesome, haunting piece, and those guitar strains..soooo beautiful!!

Outro is out of the world. Amazing

Beauty.

Can you tell about this song.. Lyrics..so beautiful

8:47 - 9:01 Portnoy is a genius

my soul

why does everytime i hear this song it feels like 5 minutes went by

The water's edge is where she waits
Lost soul still wandering
Meant to die, but she's stuck not crossing over

The other side is where he waits
His spirit reaching out
Meant to save, but she's too scared to take his hand

Living in a world without you (drowning in the past)
Is living in no world at all
So now I call on you

Remember me: I gave you life
You would not take it
Your suffering was all in vain
It's almost over now
Don't turn your back on Paradise

Feeling scared, she's prepared
To give up everything
She can't stand to feel like half of her is fading

He will choose the only way
To rid her of her pain
Take her soul now; the decision has been made

Living in a world without love (burning into my soul)
Is living in a worthless world
So I will call on you

Remember me: I gave you life
You would not take it
Your suffering was all in vain
It's almost over
Remember me; you were so young
How could I tell you?
Remember me: I am the one
Who saved your life that night

I was the one who would not 
Abandon you
Even in death I was the one who would not leave you

I used my freedom to protect you
And all the while direct you
Do you remember me this time?
Even in death I gave you life
I gave you life

I wanted to deserve a place...
A place beside you

This time when I reach out my hand
It reached all the way to heaven

Remember me: I gave you life
You would not take it
Your suffering was all in vain
It's almost over now
Goodbye
It's almost over now
Goodbye
It's time I release you from this life
Don't turn your back on Paradise

Absolute masterpiece imo, been getting more into DT lately, anyone got suggestions besides Pull Me Under, Honor Thy Father, Panic Attack and Dance of Eternity (theyre the ones I've heard)?

Count of Tuscany. A real masterpiece.

Breaking All Illusions, Octavarium

Get spotify and listen to This is Dream Theater, it will change your life.

Listen to all of their albums. 99% of songs are amazing

The best of times, one of the most beautiful solos you'll listen in your life

Don't turn your back on...Parrot Eyes.. :p

Cranberries - Zombie
Anyone else think there's some sort of relevance to it in the intro?

sounds good at 1.5 speed

I can't sleep well last night after listening to this music

I cant put into words what kind of feelings this song brings up in me.

Dopo l'album "Train of Thought" (che già era scadente) sono diventati troppo ripetitivi. Ogni pezzo è simile ad altri già fatti in passato rasentando la noia e questo pezzo è l'emblema della noia che sono diventati. Peccato

Simplemente estremece mi ser..

a real masterpiece. great and beautiful song. make me cry

Why so contrast-y?

12:44 - .... so good !

Careful, I think George Harrison is behind you Mr. Petrcucci

This song always takes me into "the other world" everytime I listen

"Petrucci is a soulless shredder"
Let them listen to this :/

Petrucci: "HOLD MY BEER"

@Nahuel Gomez honestly vai plays slowly to medium paced more than he does fast. He plays virtuoso type stuff a lot but his slow lines are what make his music unique.

Good Night Kiss guitar solo as well. Damn I love that solo

@Nahuel Gomez If people are saying that about Vai and Petrucci then they are the ones who are soulless

The same people who say that all DT do is wank and that their composition/songrwriting sucks. Don't listen to prejudiced cretins.

This, save me by x7, blackbird AB are just.. masterpieces

we need to play this song where there is war and suffering...
we finally get the peace for sure

Congrats! If you are here that means you have a good taste in music. (NOT A SARCASM)
Im personally discovering a whole new genre of music and I think these kinds of masterpieces are far far away from the mainstream medias and Im not mad about it.

Hello. Are you new to Metal ?

by increasing the speed to 1.25, the song is so much more haunting..

Andy James 'The Wind That Shakes The Heart' has brought me here...

can anyone explain the lyrics of this song to me ??

Okay, so, This Girl and Boy were at these docks together. The Girl fell in, the boy saved her but drowned. She's upset because I'm guessing they were close, and the boy, in heaven, feels bad for her. So, "to rid her of her pain," he kills her, takes her soul, and takes her up with him. The rest...im not completely sure of it.

it sounds like super jam of "zombie" by cranberries

59 Disliker just LOST their SOUL.

'Goodbye
It's time
I release you from this life
Don't turn your back on paradise'

weemember me...

that intro riff is very similar to Cranberries - Zombie vocal line

@10:54 & @12:08 kinda reminds me of the Lion King... Anyone else who's hearing it?
Might be this part that I'm thinking of:
https://youtu.be/r5uYB9T_GlY?t=4m39s

Dear god, that outro! ❤️

HammerBlow500 So great at 12:44

DarkCity94 heyy its triggered petrucci!

@Marquis De Knopfler Yasss

Yeah...It's out of this world...!!!! Awesome...!!!!!

Video on this coming soon.....

Came to this song after your video.. ❤️

@Christian Burden really?

This guy is a master in self-promotion😂

i didnt understand anthing a]except that the outro is in minor
but great song

IT TOUCHES ME OVER AND OVER AGAIN AT MY FEELINGS AND MY HEART.

12:44 thats a "playable" dream theater solo which sounds awesome
Thanks mr petrucci :)

Sometimes I feel like screaming- Deep Purple

playable in massive quotations. there are still some massive bends in it

@Harrison do Carmo Agree. That was first song that came to my mind while reading this comment.

@L M Zombies by the Cranberries? Sorry for necroing the thread

@alexmackzie i agree! when i heard the guitar solo/melody i couldnt help but notice the similarity to zombie

Took me 10 years to come around for this song. A Symphonic Theater of Dreams version of this is amazing.

bu parçanın gitar solosuna hastayım

For broken souls....
with this life we breath and with the sun we rise :) mad love.

Instrumentals sound just like avenged sevenfolds save me 😌😌

KingSyrian only thing that this DT track came earlier

Daewang Sharma and is better than a7x too

Good song

This song has the words that I wanted to tell her....

i dont know how this song made my Heart beating faster than before
