[Intro] [Low distorted bass pulse] [Uneasy organ, distant feedback] [Soft, almost conversational] I had a dream the other night That someone taught the sun to rise And everybody called it morning... [Sudden explosive guitar riff] [Verse 1] There's a whisper in the wiring There's a sermon in the stone There's a thousand little voices Saying, "You are not alone" Got a vision from a stranger With a face I almost knew Said the world was mine for taking If I only followed through [Short instrumental turnaround] So I built myself an empire From the things I thought were mine Every road became a reason Every reason was a sign [Pre-Chorus] [Ascending psychedelic guitar] Oh, what a wonderful feeling! To be exactly where you belong! Oh, what a beautiful meaning! When somebody else has known it all along! [Chorus] There's a hand behind the dream! There's an eye behind the wall! I was dancing to a rhythm That I never heard at all! Oh, I thought I saw the heavens I thought I found the key But the voice that told me who I was Was never really me! [Instrumental Break] [Swirling organ, fuzz guitar lead] [Verse 2] [Sudden dry funk bass groove] [Half-spoken, rhythmic vocal delivery] Well, congratulations! You've been selected! Every little thought Has been inspected! Sign on the line! Get in the queue! Everybody's special And they're all just like you! [Snarling, syncopated delivery] A little revelation A little inspiration A carefully administered Divine hallucination! [Sudden melodic shift] And the strangest thing about it When I finally understood Was the hand that held the knife Was the hand that did the good [Pre-Chorus] [Music drops to bass and drums] Tell me, am I dreaming? Tell me, am I free? If you taught me how to question Did you teach me to disagree? [Chorus] There's a hand behind the dream! There's an eye behind the wall! I was dancing to a rhythm That I never heard at all! Oh, I thought I saw the heavens I thought I found the key But the voice that told me who I was Was never really me! [Instrumental Break] [Extended psychedelic guitar solo] [Organ and guitar trade melodic phrases] [Sudden switch to aggressive syncopated funk-metal groove] [Bridge] [Music becomes sparse and unsettling] [Whispered] Down beneath the oldest mountain Past the roots of everything Something sleeps without a heartbeat Something dreams without a dream [Low melodic vocal] It doesn't need a kingdom It doesn't need a throne It only needs a thousand minds To think its thoughts alone [Building intensity] And I can feel it pulling Like a current through my bones And every time I close my eyes I find another road! [Explosive distorted vocal] WHO PUT THE WORDS INSIDE MY MOUTH?! [Sudden silence] [Quiet, bewildered, emphasis on I] ...Did I. Ask that? [Heavy instrumental breakdown] [Unison bass and guitar riff] [Final Chorus] [Soaring, high-register melodic vocals] There's a hand behind the dream! There's a shadow in the light! There's a million people sleeping With their eyes held open wide! Oh, I thought I broke the pattern I thought I cut the string But what if my rebellion Is just another thing you dreamed?! [Outro] [Band drops into slow, hypnotic groove] [Soft, increasingly distant] I had a dream the other night That someone taught the sun to rise... [Almost whispered] And everybody called it morning. [Instrumental ending] [Repetitive bass pulse continues] [Organ slowly detunes] [Final guitar chord fades, bass pulse stops abruptly]
