operation mindcrime ın kapanış parçasıdır; progressive metal de en üst noktalardan biri denebilir, klibi de konsepte uygun olmakla beraber geoff abim pantolonu biraz daha bol alsaymış olurmuş. dream theater gibi konsept albüm için kasan ve parçaya duygu nasıl verilir öğrenmesi gereken gruplara yazılacak olası bir reçeteye kesinlikle girecektir.
"All alone now
Except for the memories
Of what we had and what we knew
Everytime I try to leave it behind me
I see something that reminds me of you
Every night the dreams return to haunt me
Your rosary wrapped around your throat
I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep
I see your face looking back at me
And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what lies behind the stare
Is this all that's left of my life before me?
Straight jacket memories, sedative heights...
No happy ending like they've always promised
There's got to be something left for me
And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what lies behind the stare (lies behind my stare)
How many times must I live this tragedy?
How many more lies will they tell me?
All I want is the same as everyone
Why am I here, and for how long?
And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what lies behind the stare"
Rock&metal müzik tarihine geçmiş artık klasik denilebilecek, olağanüstü vokal performansıyla coverlanamayacak şarkılar arasında yer alır. öyle ki isim yapmış hiçbir grubun bu şarkıyı coverladığına ya da konserde çaldığına denk gelmedim. internette bulduğum vokal cover denemeleri ise iyi performans sergileyenlerinde bile olmamış dedirtiyor.
