the ones who help to set the sun

• dream theater'ın when dream and day unite albümünde yer alan uzunca ve her zamanki gibi pek güzelce şarkısı... afterlife kanımca çok daha iyidir o ayrı...
  
  the ones who help to set the sun
  
  watching my window i was led like a child
  as the roadway lamplights
  misguided my mind through the night
  a shadow of limits
  we were racing the rain
  my hands held the wheel
  my eyes tried to hold their place
  
  there must have been a time
  when i thought that you were watching
  it had to be when my senses lost control
  i thought i'd slipped away
  i thought i could still feel us moving
  it must have been a cloud
  no bigger than a man's hand
  
  every reason i risk my life
  to come back to you
  is locked behind your door
  you're my immunity
  outside i watched you burn
  heavy hearts were bleeding
  a cry for help, a familiar voice
  my melting hands streaked the glass
  
  as i walked away
  i wondered what had really happened
  had i run out of time
  did i push myself to far
  as my last step fell
  i felt my hands upon the wheel
  had i come back to life
  or did i ever leave at all
  in higher lives
  we seem to be
  always a moment too late
  we're past the time
  when we looked on
  now we're
  the ones who help to set the sun
  this time for real
  i locked the door behind me
  my mind was still a wreck
  from what i saw
  for when my hands are still
  i'll recognize the message
  never again will my senses lose control
  in higher lives
  we seem to be
  always a moment too late
  we're past the time
  when we looked on
  now we're
  the ones who help to set the sun

• ilk albüm gerek vokal gerek kayıt olarak çok sevdiğim bir albüm değildir fakat 2004'de yayınlanan when dream and day reunite'de çok iyi bir hal alan ve dinlenebilir olan bir şarkıdır. labrie'nin vokali mükemmel olmuş diyemem, zaten when dream and day reunite'de genel olarak çok iyi değil de ilk albümle kıyaslandığında dinletiyor yine kendini, enstrümanlar ise labrie'nin durumu gibi olmuyor, normalinden de iyi hale geliyor ve kendine iyiden iyiye hayran ediyor.
