Dream Theater - The Root of All Evil + Lyrics

VI. Ready

Proud enough for you to call me arrogant
Greedy enough to be labeled a thief
Angry enough for me to go and hurt a man
Cruel enough for me to feel no grief

Never could have just a part of it
I always need more to get by
Getting right down to the heart of it
The root of all evil has been running my whole life

Dirty enough for me to lust
Leaving nothing left to trust
Jealous enough to still feel envious
Lazy enough to sleep all day
And let my life just waste away
Selfish enough to make you wait for me

Driven blindly by our sins
Misled so easily
Entirely ready to leave it behind
I'm begging to break free

Take all of me
The desires that keep burning deep inside
Cast them all away
And help to give me strength to face another day
I am ready
Help me be what I can be

VII. Remove

Self-centered fear has got a hold of me
Clutching my throat
Self righteous anger running all through me
Ready to explode

Procrastination paralyzing me
Wanting me dead
These obsessions that keep haunting me
Won't leave my head

Help to do for me what I can't do myself
Take this fear and pain
I can't break out of this prison all alone
Help me break these chains

Humility now my only hope
Won't you take all of me
Heal this dying soul

I can feel my body breaking
I can feel my body breaking
I'm ready to let it all go
I can feel my body shaking
Right down to the foundation
The root of it all

Take all of me
The desires that keep burning deep inside
Cast them all away
And help to give me strength to face another day
I am ready
Help me be what I can be
I am ready
Come to me
Take me away

This song was so heavy my rubix cube fell off my desk and completed itself, neighbors called the police and they got arrested, my windows broke and had to buy a mac, pɹɐoqʎǝʞ ʎɯ oʇ sıɥʇ pıp, my cat barked, I have to change my pants, made people miss the like button, mom walked in and?

[RojoGatto]

I would much rather jizz for 8 minutes and shit for 9 seconds.

[MIKEPORTNOYING]

Dream Theater is a novelty act compared to Adrenaline Mob.

@easytyger Can I suck your balls? I love me them jews.

[easytyger]

fuck you fagot suck my jew balls and tell your mama whore :D

[MrVirtualCoder]

I was expecting the lyrics to be somewhat like so: "Jews, Jews, Jews, Jews, kill them!".

[Kid12Ghost]

@kadaspi123 I don't know if you know this, but DT made something called the "12 step suite" Which uses the songs "The Glass Prison, This Dying Soul, The Root of All Evil, Repentance, and The Shaterred Fortress." So there is a great chance that what you herd at 1:02 is also in TSF.

@UnendingEmpire Oh believe me....I have o_o

[UnendingEmpire]

(Follow my playlist and find all my comments :D)

Our deadly sins feel his mortal wrath

Remove all obstacles from our path

[UnendingEmpire]

@Flailwielder Thus following the whole theme of the album.

Everything ends where it began. Listen to the entire Octavarium album starting here and ending with Octavarium itself; one hell of an auditory adventure

[8ktopus]

Maybe somebody took this into account before me, but in 7:21 the rythm of the bass drum is the same that the one of "Chewbacca" (when Portnoy was on Liquid Tension Experiment). Curious

[samboy1288]

Initially Octavarium was a disappointment when put up against the beast of an album that was Train Of Thought, but now it is one of my personal favorite albums of theirs for its overall versatility.
