"Falling Into Infinity" (1997)
Lines In The Sand
! This is most of "Lines in the Sand." It's not perfect, and it's not
! all the way complete, but it's here, and it's okay.
! Side note that no one will care about, but I feel I must tell the
! most people I can, I actually got to meet Mr. Petrucci, along with
! Mr. LaBrie, Mr. Sherinian, and Mr. Portnoy at the recent (5/20/98)
! concert in Tempe, Arizona. What a treat. They were probably the
! most engaging bunch of rock stars I'll ever hope to meet, which is
! just fine because they could just about be the be all end all of
! progressive metal, in my book.
! Can't wait for the new album, guys, if you happen to read this.

Sometimes, for a moment of bliss,
And the passion we're craving,
There's a message we miss.
Sometimes when, the spirit's left alone,
We must believe in something.
To find it we've grown.
