The Spirit Carries On- Dream Theater
(Metropolis Pt.2: Scenes From a Memory)
for keyboard
i used a midi file form Jordan Rudess forums or something like that to help
work out the chords. i have included the voice changes i use so check out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZ0Mt_KQcPE for my cover of this song
Where did we come from, Why are we here?
Where do we go when we die?
What lies beyond, And what lay before?
Is anything certain in life?
They say, "Life is too short", "The here and the now"
And "You're only given one shot"
But could there be more, Have I lived before,
Or could this be all that we've got?
If I die tomorrow, I'd be all right because I believe
That after we're gone, The spirit carries on
Instrumental:
I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before, I'm not scared anymore
I know that my soul will transcend
I may never find all the answers
I may never understand why
I may never prove what I know to be true
But I know that I still have to try
If I die tomorrow, I'd be all right because I believe
That after we're gone, The spirit carries on
Move on, be brave, Don't weep at my grave, because I am no longer here
But please never let your memory of me disappear
GTR SOLO:
PIANO RUN (SINGLE NOTES):
(PIANO) B C# D C# D E D E F# E F# A Then repeat an octave higher
Then (chords):
(ORGAN & PIANO)
D D (LOWER INVERSION)
Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
The question in mind, Has helped me to find
The meaning in my life again
Victoria's real, I finally feel
At peace with the girl in my dreams
And now that I'm here, it's perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means
If I die tomorrow, I'd be all right because I believe
That after we're gone, The spirit carries on
