Dream Theater - Three Days Lyrics
[Nafaryus:]
The admiration
The applause and the cheers
I am impressed
You've brought us all to tears
To think I didn't notice
The way you looked at her
Now step down from your throne
And let me bring you back to earth
Need I remind you?
I am the ruler here
Don't overlook that fact
Swearing allegiance
No, I won't put up with that
Hide and protect him
Send him away
I'll never play this game
Stand by your savior
One thing remains
I'll find him just the same
[Imperial Guards:]
Brace yourself!
Bow down to Nafaryus!
Pray for help!
Kneel before Nafaryus!
[Nafaryus:]
He'll surrender on his own
If not, there'll be hell to pay
I'll tear down this city stone by stone
You only have three days
Send home the rebels
Call off the fight
In no uncertain terms
Should you refuse me
Fear for your lives
Ravenskill shall burn
[Imperial Guards:]
Brace yourself!
Bow down to Nafaryus!
Pray for help!
Kneel before Nafaryus!
[Narrator:]
With this frightening decree
Nafaryus departs
They're left to weigh the gravity
Of his threatening remarks
Judgment day will soon arrive
In only three days time
Will Gabriel get out of this alive?
This remains the question on their minds

Dream Theater Three Days Comments
"This Jesus must die" vibes.
This song feels like I'm in a theater, a dream theater.
LaBrie is having so much damn fun playing a villain, it's great.
En su puta vida Mike Portnoy va a tocar como Mangini, sobretodo la parte del final
Lord Nafaryus is my favorite Disney villain.
This album is a gem Master Piece!
megadeth !
With no doubt the best song of the album, and noticing theres other songs like Our New World and Dystopian Overture, that's saying alot!
3:33 swing music + Blast beats = win
Like for Nafaryus, ignore for Gabriel
Why couldn’t the whole album be as unique and perfect as this song? This was the one ounce of masterpiece that this album produced.
meh, this song is too Avenged Sevenfold for my taste
Am I the only one who is picking up an influence from Megadeth on this song?
Now step down from your throne And let me bring you back
to ÆëīRTHHHH
That outro tho..
Guys guys guys. Just think about it - the melody that starts at 00:46 reminds me of Inspector Gadget. If you think it's odd as hell, then I respect your opinion ;)
Magic, Awesome, OMFG... 10/10 IGN 11/10 ME
Why does Nafaryus get the best songs haha? This is the best track on disc 1 in my opinion
I would love to see a full length Musical theater production of the Astonishing
Or a movie?
chutia DREAM THEATER HAI BC FALTU MEIN ITNA COMPLEX MUSIC BANATA HAI GANDU KE BACHE
Gaand mara le chutiya!
Regarding the last part (the instrumental one that starts at 3:28), what instrument does Jordan imitate? As far as I know he does it with his keyboard but obviously it represents a real instrument's sound.... Thanks in advance
Luis Daniel Antón O. Lol yea same question,
It sounds like three instruments: a clarinet for the melody (on the right channel), a muted trumpet for the backing (on the left one) and a trombone for the bass
What game is this for? Just amazing!!!!
Portnoy blocks the creativity of the guys
Sounds like its part of a musical tbh
That's kind of the point... lol
Best song on the album by far
Does anyone else think that this kinda sounds like it could be a Disney Villain Song?
2:46 djafar theme from alladin
Dream theater claims to be heavily influenced by Disney scores. So it was designed that way
DT goes Symphony X haha. Labrie sounds like he's having a blast singing this song!
Very good the coral
this has become my new favorite dream theater song sorry Mike portnoy this new album has grown on me like a weed
My god! What's this? Incredible!!
am i the only one who thinks this as a disney vilen song vibe to it
The horns! The blast beats!! The swinging drums!!! The laugh!!!! The organ tone!!!!! Yes dude!!!!!!
Love a good villian's song
That swing part is so cheezy
one of the greatest bands all of the world - i like it and go with Dream Theater future ways
their is more songs that were made that weren't put onto the album just a heads up
18 people dislike this: 1 Rascal Flatts fan, 3 Justin Bieber fans, Kanye West, Katy Perry, Lars from Metallica, 1 person who just doesn't listen to anything post 1976, 6 Coldplay fans, and the 4 Coldplay members!
1:55 that Vegeta laugh though...
would aprreciate an add on with only nafaryus songs
Listening The Astonishing in order, best song so far!
He sounds like Jack Skellington
The swing part reminds me of a band called Diablo Swing Orchestra. Great Song BTW
Liked the Swing part....
Used to be 2 or 3 gay songs on each album. Now the albums are 75-80% gay. This one is good, but WHY, OH WHY must most their songs throw in that gay vibe. I just don't get it. Wonder if LaBrie gets it from behind now. The older they get, the more gay they become.
DT was MUCH better when they were heavier.
+TruthUnderFire Heavy doesn't mean it's good. And you sound like a homophobe.
Am I the one who hear Carmen in the middle of the song ?
I love 1:44
This song makes me imagine Nefaryus as an evil queen prancing around and spreading chaos throughout Ravenskill rather than a greedy emperor. Anyone feel me? I mean just picture it out lol
BRACE YOURSELF
BOW DOWN TO NAFARYUS
Amazing symphony
Yay. Luigi's Mansion.
Did I just hear metal, tango, and swing? lol awesome.
Magistral este tema
Petrucci is not only a great guitar player, composer, but also a great producer, because I don't know how he managed to make all these elements sound not only audible, but enjoyable. Astonishing frequency work!
For me definitely the best song in the album...
1:56 - 2:12 Amazing!! Part
Paging Devin Townsend your 1:50 mark is calling.
Gives me a Jesus Christ Super Star vibe. Which is good ;-)
Brace yourself
Bow down to Nafaryus
Pray for help
Kneel before Nafaryus
+AliothSenator p r o g r e s s i v e w a v e
Perfect one! *,*
Dream Theater meets Diablos swing orchestra at the end. The only song of this album I really like.
+Serfo With a tad of Devin Townsend Project.
great profile pic!
Troldhaugen? Is that you??
1:56 that laugh.... :-)
I say this as a monstrous Dream Theater fan.... I really don't like this album. The whole concept is just too cheesy for me to enjoy. I'm not happy about this... I never thought I'd long for the days of Mike Portnoy's dumb clunky lyrics. (Ala "By the grace of god above, everyone survived, ::LION ROAR::).
+MrJezzicho My advice is just put this one away for awhile, maybe come back to it a later date and just wait for their next album :P
Lord Nefaryus is jelly
I love the ending drum part!!!
James LaBrie sounds a bit like Dave Mustaine in the intro :-)
I love James LaBrie voice in this album. His best album!
One word: AWAKE!
Images and Words
He's fucking great here. The way he impersonates the different characters is outstanding.
I cannot believe my ears. Every Nafaryus song is just outstanding!
After hearing that swing part, I would to hear Dream Theater do a ten minutes version doing that swing.
almost 1/3 of the way. great album so far
fuck I'm high af and this piece of art is tight and orgasmatic
Seven people dislike this? Ha, people without ears ._.
pushing the limit....
"He'll surrender on his own. If not, there'll be hell to pay."
Anybody but me aknowledging Jesus Christ Superstar reference?
JUDGMENT DAY IS COMING AND YOU ONLY HAVE THREE DAYS! JUST! THREE! DAYS!
TIME OF EVOLUTION ... PROGRESS
Mike Portnoy has 6 youtube accounts
+oldGnRrocks1 I'm sorry, ten accounts.
@Niko Peñailillo portnoy hater
+oldGnRrocks1 Portnoy's widow
@Niko Peñailillo howd you know
26 more...
Alladin?
the best track of album!!!
I love the bass and snare sound on this album, much better engineered. Keep listening to this song, some amazing note selection! Hauntingly awesome!
Love James as Nafaryus. Reminds me a lot of his solo work actually.
For some reason, this Lord Nafaryus seems as evil as Lord Farquaad from Shrek.
+MaNuX Maybe because he's not evil :P Daryus is the #1 douchebag in this story.
This album is just so fucking good.
Emperor BUG!
This is their new Master Piece, I think I can finally place Scenes From A Memory to 2th place
masterpiece! thank you DT
The first time I heard the jazzy part in the end of the song I was already surprised, but seeing it turn into a blastbeat... my mind was instantly blown! Geniuses at their finest!
james kicking all the asseeesss
Heaviest chorus on the album, and holy fuck mangini, that blast beat at the end is fucking crazy!!
I cannot wait to hear Labrie do the ridiculous evil laugh live XD
That's too bad. Still, I'm sure it was a great show! :D
I hope the dvd makes LaBrie Laugh :3
+Rebecca Ashley Peiffer Saw them in NYC last month, and sadly this was sampled. Would have also loved to hear Labrie maniacally laugh onstage.
Yeah, I finally got to see them in Mesa, AZ on Thursday. The sampling made me sad. I knew some parts needed to be sampled because otherwise it wasn't possible, but there was so much of it...otherwise, though a great show! I was not let down :D
Rebecca Ashley Peiffer Hey, I was there too! Small world
how irony that lord nafaryus used to listen the music from the shitty NOMAC and the song in this album with his theme song is the best :/
Remember bug?
Oh shit, i didn't expect this.... like.. at all!
Like... okay this is fucking awesome XD
ayreon? is that you?
Best song on the album, and one of the best they've done in recent memory - will be a kicker live
This song makes me think of Star Wars... Nafaryus being a sith lord. I'm off to make a new swtor character because of this song! I love it :)
What a Fuckin' song !!!
I keep listening to these individual tracks but have yet to listen to them album. I bought it yesterday but I haven't had the time to sit down and enjoy it. I'm hearing that it takes a couple of listens to get into and with this album clocking in at over 2 hours, I have a feeling I might be booking at least half a day off of work just so I can listen to it at least twice without interruptions.
+Lurch Murphy Its so worth it if you can listen to the album from start to finish.
+Lurch “Murf” Murphy That's commitment. Bravo!
This song is just astonishing guys!
I am impressed...;)
