- (original live version - from the "subconscious" cd)[recorded live at the limelight, ny, march 4, 1993, with james labrie on ][vocals. this is the version of this song from the infamous "dance of ][eternity" bootleg recording. ]- mike portnoyI remember a time [01:43]My frail, virgin mindWatched the crimson sunriseImagined what it might findLife was filled with wonderI felt the warm wind blowI must explore the boundariesTranscend the depths of winter's snowInnocence caressing meI never felt so young beforeThere was so much life to seeYet i knew there must be moreBut those days are gone now [02:40]Changed like a leaf on a treeBlown away foreverInto the cool autumn breezeThe snow has now fallenAnd i know where i standAll of my childhood memoriesLeft lying in the sandIn my den of inequity [03:22]Viciousness and delicacyStruggled to find the saneStruggled to ease the painIgnorance surrounding meI've never been so filled with fearNow i know that there is moreThe warmth is goneBut the chill forever hereI'll always remember [04:18]The chill of novemberThe news of the fallThe sounds in the hallThe clock on the wall, ticking away"seize the day"I heard him sayLife will not always be this way.Look around, and hear the soundAnother time like this can't be found.We can learn from the past [05:13]But those days are goneIn my frail, virgin mind [05:38]Words have lost my wayI have to seize the dayTo home i returnedPreparing for her flight [06:12]I held with all my mightFearing my deepest frightShe walked into the nightShe turned for one last lookShe looked me in the eyeI said, 'i love you... good-bye.'Please don't go [06:50][instrumental section]So far so few between [09:56]My eyes filled fullWith desire fulfilledAll my dreams came trueAll the world,And all of youEveryday there's a constant reminderOf all the pleasures we shared togetherLove is not just a passing wordIt's a state of heart that goes on foreverI was blinded by a paradiseUtopia high in the skyThe love there will never come awayDeep in sorrow, wandering farawayI stood outside in the rain for us [11:09]I tried to work out all of the pain for usI sat alone and took the blame for usMy mind has torn and gone insane for usInnocent sinner [11:34]Repeat offenderPromiscuous promiserA faith lenderIndecisive decisionsTorn with heartless divisionsWatering all my visions of loveOf all the world, i give to you [12:48]All of the world,All the world, i give to youAll of the world[instrumental section]I'm much wiser now [17:13]A lifetime of memoriesRun through my headMemories they taught meFor better or worse, alive or deadI realize, there's no turning backLife goes on the offbeaten trackI sit down with my son [17:53]Can't you see the crimson sunsetHe's my only oneNow that my time has comeNow that my day is doneLooking into the sun he said'don't go, don't go,Please don't go, now.Don't go, don't go, don't go, don't go.'
