 1st Degree - The Glass Prison [13:52]
 music by Myung, Petrucci, Portnoy, Rudess
 lyrics by Mike Portnoy

I. REFLECTION

 Cunning, Baffling, Powerful
 Been beaten to a pulp
 Vigorous, Irresistable
 Sick and tired and laid low
 Dominating, Invincible
 Black-out, loss of control
 Overwhelming, Unquenchable
 I'm powerless, have to let go

 I can't escape it
 It leaves me frail and worn
 Can no longer take it
 Senses tattered and torn

 Hopeless surrender
 Obsession's got me beat
 Losing the will to live
 Admitting complete defeat

 Fatal Descent
 Spinning around
 I've gone too far
 To turn back round

 Desperate attempt
 Stop the progression
 At any length
 Lift this obsession

 Crawling to my glass prison
 A place where no one knows
 My secret lonely world begins

 So much safer here
 A place where I can go
 To forget about my daily sins

 Life here in my glass prison
 A place I once called home
 Fall in nocturnal bliss again

 Chasing a long lost friend
 I no longer can control
 Just waiting for this hopelessness to end

II. RESTORATION

 Run - fast from the wreckage of the past
 A shattered glass prison wall behind me
 Fight - past walking through the ashes
 A distant oasis before me

 Cry - desperate crawling on my knees
 Begging God to please stop the insanity
 Help me - I'm trying to believe
 Stop wallowing in my own self pity

 "We've been waiting for you my friend
 The writing's been on the wall
 All it takes is a little faith
 You know you're the same as us all"

 Help me - I can't break out this prison all alone
 Save me - I'm drowning and I'm hopeless on my own
 Heal me - I can't restore my sanity alone

 Enter the door
 Desperate
 Fighting no more
 Help me restore
 To my sanity
 At this temple of hope

 I need to learn
 Teach me how
 Sorrow to burn
 Help me return
 To humanity
 I'll be fearless and thorough
 To enter this temple of hope

 Believe
 Transcend the pain
 Living the life
 Humility
 Opened my eyes
 This new odyssey
 Of rigorous honesty

 Serenity
 I never knew
 Soundness of mind
 Helped me to find
 Courage to change
 All the things that I can

 "We'll help you perform this miracle
 But you must set your past free
 You dug the hole, but you can't bury your sole
 Open your mind and you'll see"

 Help me - I can't break out this prison all alone
 Save me - I'm drowning and I'm hopeless on my own
 Heal me - I can't restore my sanity alone

III. REVELATION

 Way off in the distance I saw a door
 I tried to open
 I tried forcing with all of my will and still [NOTE: the "and" is 
actually ]
 The door wouldn't open [replaced with "but" in this 
line]

 Unable to trust in my faith
 I turned and walked away
 I looked around, felt a chill in the air
 Took my will and turned it over

 The glass prison which once held me is now gone ["now" is not heard in this 
line ]
 A long lost fortress
 Armed only with liberty
 And the key of my willingness

 Fell down on my knees and prayed
 "Thy will be done"
 I turned around, saw a light shining through
 The door was wide open
