Dream Theater - The Spirit Carries On Lyrics






Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
Where do we go when we die?
What lies beyond
And what lay before?
Is anything certain in life?

They say "Life is too short"
"The here and the now"
And "You're only given one shot"
But could there be more
Have I lived before
Or could this be all that we've got?

If I die tomorrow
I'd be alright
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on

I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before
I'm not scared anymore
I know that my soul will transcend

I may never find all the answers
I may never understand why
I may never prove
What I know to be true
But I know that I still have to try

If I die tomorrow
I'd be alright
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on

"Move on, be brave
Don't weep at my grave
Because I'm no longer here
But please never let
Your memories of me disappear"

Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
Has help me to find
The meaning in my life again
Victoria's real
I finally feel
At peace with the girl in my dreams
And now that I'm here
It's perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means

If I die tomorrow
I'd be alright
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on

    Very special song for me. First heard this album with my dear friend, amazing drummer and bandmate, George, it's was an awesome experience. He unfortunately, got cancer shortly after that and fought it back for 6 years till it took him. Saying my final goodbye to him, at his hospital bed, we looked at each other, smiled through some tears, and both said together, "The Spirit Carries On". Love you bother, I will see you on the other side someday.

  43. W.... B....

    The thing that I can take from the meaning of the lyrics of this song is that we must always be passionate in living life. Make the best use of your time to do good before our time is up in the world. That way, we will not be afraid anymore when death has come to pick us up on time later.
    And I believe that the real life is in the hereafter, the world is only temporary.
    Thank you !

  79. T.... _....

    Depression song😢

  80. b.... e....

    This very good song tells the story of "sangkan paraning dumadi". And, how will life after death

    b.... e....

    This song is actually about reincarnation. This is rock opera from album Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory. The album follows the character Nicholas, who goes under hypnosis and discovers a past life where he was a woman named Victoria.

    b.... e....

    In our culture, Java. There is indeed an understanding of reincarnation, a dying soul born again to live life. However, the soul can never get awareness of universal understanding in its life again. There is a Lyrics section of the song The Spirit Carries on which depicts it ...

    "I know that my soul will transcend
    I may never find all the answers
    I may never understand why
    I may never prove
    What I know to be true
    But I know that I still have to try "

    Okay.

  82. I.... R....

    The Music is great, lyrics not so much

    I.... R....

    the entire album of tis song is a story. and this song is the climax. so you need to listen to all of them to know what the lyrics are about.

  83. d.... g....

    Mantul 🙏👍👍👍

    我們懷念你,阿狗店長…

  85. M.... t....

    Hello.. i very apreciate this song.. that is can make someone to open mind cause we remember about our die..

  86. T.... S....

    Dream yang skrg udah hilang karismanya

  87. �.... ....

    謝謝。

  88. s.... ....

    It may not be the greatest prog album ever, and it has its issues(some cheesy lyrics and overlong instrumentals) but the influence this record has had on modern progressive rock and metal is almost unparalled. The intricate interweaving of melodies, concise storytelling and strong conceptual focus remains amazing and fresh to this day. Many other artists that I love would not have produced the work they did without this record as a foundation. Even though I know its not as good as I thought it was when I was 15, it still gives me the same chills. What. An. Album.
