- john petrucci [studio demo, available on the cd single for the song "lie". ] [additional verse on this version, starting at 03:37, is kevin ] [moore's last lyrical contribution to dream theater. ] [a live version is also available on the fan club christmas cd 1998.] If i'd started from the top And worked my way down There'd be no reason To live forever To live forever The starvation has turned Me outside in And the wind has blown Me halfway across the world Across the world Why was i born In an age of distrust I'd offered some change For a photograph It will always stay the same [**a**] You will always be the same Until i saw the desire for revenge My heart never once went astray As long as i have to die in the attempt Then there is no reason To live forever I found you where [03:37] They left you there A pa**ing word that's gone forever And searching my memory for answers I saw the words of a letter you wrote She said 'you don't have to live forever, You don't want to live forever.' And everything's changing now, I don't want to live forever. [alternate ending - (live in tokyo home video)] [beginning at **a** above. ] It will always stay the same Always be the same Until i saw the desire for revenge My heart never once went astray As long as i have to die in the attempt Then there is no reason To live forever Until i saw the desire for revenge As long as i have to die in the attempt If i had to charge the attack Let me No reason No reason No reason No reason To live forever [alternate ending - (studio acoustic version - "subconscious" cd)] [recorded as james labrie's vocal audition in 1990. ] [beginning at **a** above. ] It will always stay the same Always be the same Until i show desire for revenge My heart never once went astray As long as i have to die in the attempt Then there'd be no reason To live forever Until i show desire for revenge As long as i have to die in the attempt As long as i have to die in the attempt Then there'd be no reason No reason No reason To live forever To live forever 'this just in from baghdad... seven patriot missiles Have been spotted above cuba.'
