Lyrics:

Ours is the cry of the helpless, told
in the timeless truth of the written word
Trapped by the tempest of the blind
our muted calls can't be heard
Helpless as we stand
amidst the push of thoughtless hands
We are adrift without direction
in a raging storm on a calm sea
Clinging to our expectations
to stem the tide of destiny
Helpless as we fall
beneath the crush of waters walls

This band was (is) epic. Perfect Symmetry is in my top 10 favorite albums of all time.

From 3 mins 12 secs, some of the best instrumental prog I've ever heard.

If only more youth of today knew just how important FW was to not only metal, but music as a whole! I've been a fan since the beginning, Night On Brocken, Spectre Within, Awaken The Guardian (one of the most important albums in metal history), these guys define Prog Metal. Then they proved it again with the Ray stuff! Simply amazing Iconic metal!

This is progressive music written by guys who happen to be great songwriters. Saw them play this live on this tour front and center. let's just say it has lasting impact. Timeless music by a timeless band of real guys. No bullshit or pussyfooting. They were never afraid to change and try new things in their music while never sacrificing the focus of their expressions. Very rare.....
