A Fortune In Lies (05:13)
      - John Petrucci

    I can remember when,
    In the unity of our five-day sessions
    Not even once did we hear the siren song
    What kind of imagination
    Asleep in some lyrical coma
    Who's vain futile memory
    Could have been so wrong?

       You can make a fortune in lies
       You can keep a giant alive
       You can ride the red
       Until everybody smiles

    A trifling euphoria
    was such an untimely religion
    maybe your life can explain
    the reason for my indecision
    Here is a poor man
    the heart of this monster creation
    He said we both will be heroes
    and I was led into temptation

       You can make a fortune in lies
       You can keep a giant alive
       You can ride the red
       Until everybody smiles

    Can you show me your gold
    and your silver?
    A hero in frozen water

   "For the first time in a long time...
    everything was right in my world...     [Sample from a television prison  ]
    and then I woke up..."                  [documentary.                     ]
    
       Now you've made a fortune in lies
       and you kept a giant alive
       You rode the red
       You rode the red
