- Mike Portnoy



A single star behind me

A red sky burns ahead

A lonely light below me

Awake among the dead

An overwhelming feeling

Leaves me numb and strange

A sense of new beginning

I sense a wind of change



Out with the old useless

People so cold ruthless

Welcome in a new millennium

How many times must I

Live out this nightmare I

Can't wait until a new millennium



I've got this feeling

The tide is turning now baby

Funny feeling

Everything's gonna be alright now



Living out a constant deja vu

Keep your head up

Please be patient we will get to you

Keep your head up

Just have some faith and you can see it through

Keep your head up

But faith don't pay the rent that's overdue

Keep your head up

All that's glittering is turning blue

Keep your head up

What they want from me ain't gotta clue

Keep your head up

Swallow pride before it swallows you

Keep your head up

Don't dare bite the hand that's starving you

Keep your head up



How can you keep your head

And not go insane

When the only light at the end

Of the tunnel is another train



Lies ten feet tall

Have broken my fall

Welcome you all new millennium

It's well overdue

And I can't wait to

Welcome in a new millennium



I've got this feeling 

The tide is turning now baby

Funny feeling

Everything's gonna be alright now
