Dream Theater - Spirit Carries On



Music by dream theater

Lyrics by john petrucci



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 youre only given one shot

But could there be more,

Have I lived before,

Or could this be all that weve got?



If I die tomorrow

Id be allright

Because I believe

That after were gone

The spirit carries on



I used to be frightened of dying

I used to think death was the end

But that was before

Im 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

Id be allright

Because I believe

That after were gone

The spirit carries on



Move on, be brave

Dont weep at my grave

Because I am no longer here

But please never let

Your memory of me disappear



Safe in the light that surrounds me

Free of the fear and the pain

My questioning mind

Has helped me to find

The meaning in my life again

Victorias real

I finally feel

At peace with the girl in my dreams

And now that Im here

Its perfectly clear

I found out what all of this means



If I die tomorrow

Id be allright

Because I believe

That after were gone

The spirit carries on

November Rain - Guns N'Roses



When I look into your eyes

I can see a love restrained

But darlin' when I hold you

Don't you know I feel the same



'Cause nothin' lasts forever

And we both know hearts can change

And it's hard to hold a candle

In the cold November rain



We've been through this auch a long long time

Just tryin' to kill the pain



But lovers always come and lovers always go

An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today

Walking away



If we could take the time

to lay it on the line

I could rest my head

Just knowin' that you were mine

All mine

So if you want to love me

then darlin' don't refrain

Or I'll just end up walkin'

In the cold November rain



Do you need some time...on your own

Do you need some time...all alone

Everybody needs some time...

on their own

Don't you know you need some time...all alone



I know it's hard to keep an open heart

When even friends seem out to harm you

But if you could heal a broken heart

Wouldn't time be out to charm you



Sometimes I need some time...on my

own

Sometimes I need some time...all alone

Everybody needs some time...

on their own

Don't you know you need some time...all alone



And when your fears subside

And shadows still remain

I know that you can love me

When there's no one left to blame

So never mind the darkness

We still can find a way

'Cause nothin' lasts forever

Even cold November rain



Don't ya think that you need somebody

Don't ya think that you need someone

Everybody needs somebody

You're not the only one

You're not the only one

One of my best friends overdosed last July at her funeral they played My Immortal by Evanescence, Adams song by Blink-182 and Rebirth By Skillet...You should use songs that have a deep personal meaning and maybe use the songs that he used to listen to...I hope that helps and I'm truly sorry for your friend.

Try the end of the line by Offspring maybe?



Here's the lyrics:



When the siren's flash is gone

And we're left to carry on

All the memories are too few



When the pastor's music plays

And that casket rolls away

I could live again if you

Just stay alive for me



Please stay now, you left me here alone - it's the end of the line

Please stay I can't make it on my own - it's the end of the line

Make it on my own

It's the end of the line



Now that you are dead and gone

And I'm left to carry on

I could never smile cause you

Won't stay alive for me



Finally,

Your final resting day

Is without me

I weep

And think of brighter days

What about me?



You can't take back, the one mistake

That still lives on after life it takes

In that one day, that changed our lives

And bitter memories are left behind
I'm Your Lover, I'm Zero

BLINK 182 LYRICS

"I Miss You"



(I miss you...)

Hello there, the angel from my nightmare

The shadow in the background of the morgue

The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley

We can live like Jack and Sally if we want

Where you can always find me

We'll have Halloween on Christmas

And in the night we'll wish this never ends

We'll wish this never ends



(I miss you...)

(I miss you...)



Where are you and I'm so sorry

I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight

I need somebody and always

This sick strange darkness

Comes creeping on so haunting every time

And as I stared I counted

Webs from all the spiders

Catching things and eating their insides

Like indecision to call you

and hear your voice of treason

Will you come home and stop this pain tonight

Stop this pain tonight



Don't waste your time on me you're already

The voice inside my head (I miss you...)

Don't waste your time on me you're already

The voice inside my head (I miss you...)

[x3]



(I miss you...) [x4]

Hear You Me by Jimmy Eat World



There's no one in town I know

You gave us some place to go.

I never said thank you for that.

I thought I might get one more chance.

What would you think of me now,

so lucky, so strong, so proud?

I never said thank you for that,

now I'll never have a chance.

May angels lead you in.

Hear you me my friends.

On sleepless roads the sleepless go.

May angels lead you in.

So what would you think of me now,

so lucky, so strong, so proud?

I never said thank you for that,

now I'll never have a chance.

May angels lead you in.

Hear you me my friends.

On sleepless roads the sleepless go.

May angels lead you in.

May angels lead you in.

May angels lead you in.

And if you were with me tonight,

I'd sing to you just one more time.

A song for a heart so big,

god wouldn't let it live.

May angels lead you in.

Hear you me my friends.

On sleepless roads the sleepless go.

May angels lead you in.

May angels lead you in.

Hear you me my friends.

On sleepless roads the sleepless go.

May angels lead you in.

May angels lead you in.

"Wake Me Up When September Ends" by Green Day.

The song was written about the lead singer's (Billie Joe's) father dying from lung cancer when Billie was only 10 years old.



Lyrics:



Summer has come and passed

The innocent may never last

Wake me up when September ends



Like my fathers come to pass

Seven years has gone so fast

Wake me up when September ends



Here comes the rain again

Falling from the stars

Drenched in my pain again

Becoming who we are



As my memory rests

But never forgets what I lost

Wake me up when September ends



Summer has come and passed

The innocent can never last

Wake me up when September ends



Ring out the bells again

Like we did when Spring began

Wake me up when September ends



Here comes the rain again

Falling from the stars

Drenched in my pain again

Becoming who we are



As my memory rests

But never forgets what I lost

Wake me up when September ends



Summer has come and passed

The innocent can never last

Wake me up when September ends



Like my fathers come to pass

Twenty years has gone so fast

Wake me up when September ends

Wake me up when September ends

Wake me up when September ends.

asleep by the smiths here are the lyrics and a link if u would like to listen to the song....

Sing me to sleep

Sing me to sleep

I'm tired and I

I want to go to bed

Sing me to sleep

Sing me to sleep

And then leave me alone

Don't try to wake me in the morning

'Cause I will be gone

Don't feel bad for me

I want you to know

Deep in the cell of my heart

I will feel so glad to go



Sing me to sleep

Sing me to sleep

I don't want to wake up

On my own anymore

Sing to me

Sing to me

I don't want to wake up

On my own anymore

Don't feel bad for me

I want you to know

Deep in the cell of my heart

I really want to go



There is another world

There is a better world

Well, there must be

Well, there must be

Bye.. Bye..

Knockin' on Heavens Door GNR



Mama take this badge from me

I can't use it anymore

It's getting dark too dark to see

Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door



Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door



Mama put my guns in the ground

I can't shoot them anymore

That cold black cloud is comin' down

Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door



Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door



"You just better start sniffin' your own

rank subjugation jack 'cause it's just you

against your tattered libido, the bank and

the mortician, forever man and it wouldn't

be luck if you could get out of life alive"*
