The Great Debate
作词 : John Petrucci/Mike Portnoy/John Myung/Jordan Rudness
作曲 : John Petrucci/Mike Portnoy/John Myung/Jordan Rudness
What if someone said promise lies ahead
Hopes are high in certain scientific circles
Life won't have to end
You could walk again
What if someone said problems lie ahead
They've uncovered something highly controversial
The right to life is strong
Can't you see it's wrong
Human kind has reached a turning point
Poised for conflict at ground zero
Ready for a war
Do we look to our unearthly guide
Or to white coat heroes
Searching for a cure
Turn to the light
Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates
Turn to the light
Turning away would be a terrible mistake
Anarchistic moral vision, industries of death
Facing violent opposition, unmolested breath
Ethic inquisitions breed, antagonistic views
Right wing sound bite premonitions in a labyrinth of rules
Are you justified?
Justified in taking life to save life
Life to save life, life to save life
This embryonic clay wrapped in fierce debate
Would be thrown away or otherwise discarded
Some of us believe it may hold the key
To treatment of disease and secrets highly guarded
Are you justified?
Justified in taking life to save life
Life to save life, life to save life
Human kind has reached a turning point
Poised for conflict at ground zero
Ready for a war
Do we look to our unearthly guide
Or to white coat heroes
Searching for a cure
Turn to the light
Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates
Turn to the light
Turning away would be a terrible mistake
We're reaching
But have we gone too far
Harvesting existence only to destroy
Carelessly together we are sliding
Someone else's future, four days frozen still
Someone else's fate we are deciding
Miracle potential, sanctity of life
Faced against each other we're divided
Should we push the boundaries or should we condemn
Moral guilt and science have collided
Turn to the light
We defy our own mortality these days
Turn to the light
Pay attention to the questions we have raised
