A New Scene For Metropolis

This is a new (unofficial) scene I wrote for the Metropolis story, by Dream Theater. It assumes that Nicholas' wife is the reincarnation of Julian Baynes (the Sleeper). I wrote this in about half an hour.

Lying in my bed
The walls shake with echoed screams
Demons in his head
Calls make their way from dreams

Waiting these lonely nights
Is getting us nowhere
Rainclouds and lamplights
They won't let me go there

Cold
Hear the screaming in the night
Frozen, covers clinging tight
Try to dream and pray for the sound to fade

Hold
To the memories of you
To the golden path we knew
I'm fast asleep and yet I am so afraid

The rain keeps on falling
The city streets are calling
But I shut the door inside
Don't want to feel the cold right now

A tragedy for thinking
A mighty ship is sinking
I want to heal the pain, but I don't know how

Lost
In the blankets of my home
Filled with fear and all alone
He shakes and screams in a distant rage

Cost
May be more than I can deal
There's a danger that I feel
Could his dreams be of a future age?

There's a mystery forbidden
In the scenes his mind has hidden
There's a secret locked inside
That he struggles to obtain

A tragedy for thinking
A mighty ship is sinking
It'll take a miracle to dry up this rain

I saw the link to this site on DT.net. I didn't post about these lyrics there, so I figured I would here. They're very good, I could easily see them in a song. Or..hear them :P
