Dream Theater es una banda estadounidense de metal progresivo formada en 1985. El grupo fue fundado por el guitarrista John Petrucci, el bajista John Myung y el baterista Mike Portnoy mientras asistían al prestigioso Berklee College of Music en Boston. Originalmente, la banda se llamó Majesty, pero después de descubrir que otro grupo ya utilizaba ese nombre, optaron por Dream Theater, inspirándose en un antiguo cine de California.
En 1989, Dream Theater lanzó su primer álbum de estudio, When Dream and Day Unite, bajo la discográfica Mechanic Records. Este trabajo estableció las bases de su sonido característico, que combina complejas estructuras musicales, virtuosismo técnico y la rica interacción entre sus miembros. Sin embargo, la recepción fue modesta y la banda no logró obtener el reconocimiento inmediato que esperaban.
En 1991, la banda experimentó un cambio significativo con la llegada del vocalista James LaBrie, proveniente de Canadá. Este cambio resultó ser clave para su éxito. Un año después, lanzaron Images and Words, su segundo álbum, que incluía el sencillo Pull Me Under. Este tema les dio un impulso inesperado, recibiendo amplias rotaciones en la radio y MTV, lo que llevó al álbum a alcanzar el oro en ventas.
En 1994, Dream Theater lanzó Awake, un álbum más oscuro y pesado que consolidó su estatus en el mundo del metal progresivo. Canciones como Lie y Space-Dye Vest demostraron su capacidad

Nine Scene: Finaly Free
"You are once again surrounded by a brilliant white light.
Allow the light to lead you away from your past and into this lifetime.
As the light dissipates you will slowly fade back into
consciousness
remembering all you have learned. When I tell you to
open your eyes
you will return to the present, feeling peaceful and
refreshed.
Open your eyes, Nicholas."
Friday evening
The blood still on my hands
To think that she would leave me now
For that ungrateful man
Sole survivor
No witness to the crime
I must act fast to cover up
I think that there's still time
He'd seem hopeless and lost with this note
They'll buy into the words that I wrote
"This feeling inside me
Finally found my love, I've finally broke free
No longer torn in two
I'd take my own life before losing you"
Feeling good this Friday afternoon
I ran into Julian
Said we'd get together soon
He's always had my heart
He needs to know
I'll break free of the Miracle
It's time for him to go
This feeling inside me
Finally found my love, I've finally broke free
No longer torn in two
He'd kill his brother if he only knew
Their love renewed
They'd rendezvous
In a pathway out of view
They thought no one knew
Then came a shot out of the night
"Open your eyes, Victoria."
One last time
We'll lay down today
One last time
Until we fade away
One last time
We'll lay down today
One last time
We fade away
As their bodies lie still
And the ending draws near
Spirits rise through the air
All their fears disappear, it all becomes clear
A blinding light comes into view
An old soul exchanged for a new
A familiar voice comes shining through...
This feeling inside me
Finally found my life, I'm finally free
No longer torn in two
I learned about my life by living through you
This feeling inside me
Finally found my life, I'm finally free
No longer torn in two
Living my own life by learning from you
We'll meet again my friend someday soon...
"...news in London, France, Russia
and Italy have deleted their lead
story, all anticipating the outcome
of the man considered to be a member of American nobility."
"And as you can imagine, as the skies have grown darker
here over Washington, the mood has grown darker as well
and people here are beginning to resign themselves
to the possibility that they are witnessing yet another
tragedy in a long string of misfortunes."
"Reaction from everywhere, from Washington and
certainly from around the world has cast..."
"Open your eyes, Nicholas."
[Nicholas:]
"Aaah!"
