A Change Of Seasons Lyrics

Review The Song (39)Print the Lyrics
- Mike Portnoy

I. The Crimson Sunrise
(Instrumental)

II. Innocence
I remember a time
My frail, virgin mind
watched the crimson sunrise
Imagined what it might find
Life was filled with wonder
I felt the warm wind blow
I must explore the boundaries
Transcend the depth of winter's snow
Innocence caressing me
I never felt so young before
There was so much life in me
Still I longed to search for more
But those days are gone now
Changed like a leaf on a tree
Blown away forever
into the cool autumn breeze
The snow has now fallen
and my sun's not so bright
I struggle to hold on
with the last of my might
In my den of inequity
viciousness and subtlety
struggle to ease the pain
struggle to find the sane
Ignorance surrounding me
I've never been so filled with fear
All my life's been drained from me
The end is drawing near....

III. Carpe Diem
'Carpe diem, seize the day'
I'll always remember
The chill of November
The news of the fall
The sounds in the hall
The clock on the wall ticking away
'Seize the Day'
I heard him say
Life will not always be this way
Look around
Hear the sounds
Cherish your life while you're still around

"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow will be dying."

We can learn from the past
But those days are gone
We can hope for the future
But there may not be one
The words stuck in my mind
alive from what I've learned
I have to seize the day
To home I returned
Preparing for her flight
I held with all my might
Fearing my deepest fright
She walked into the night
She turned for one last look
She looked me in the eye
I said, 'I Love You...Good-bye'

"It's the most awful thing you'll
ever hear."
"If you're lying to me..."
"Oh, you dearly love her."
"...just have to leave... all our lives."
"Seize the day!"
"Something happened.
"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may."
"She was killed."

IV. The Darkest of Winters
(Instrumental)

V. Another World
So far or so it seems
All is lost with nothing fulfilled
Off the pages and a T.V. screen
Another world where nothing's true
Tripping through the life fantastic
Lose a step and never get up
Left alone with a cold blank stare
I feel like giving up
I was blinded by a paradise
Utopia high in the sky
A dream that only drowned me
Deep in sorrow, wondering why
Oh come let us adore him
Abuse and then ignore him
No matter what, don't let him be
Let's feed upon his misery
Then string him up for all the world to see
I'm sick of all you hypocrites
holding me at bay
And I don't need your sympathy
to get me through the day
Seasons change and so can I
Hold on boy, No time to cry
Untie these strings, I'm climbing down
I won't let them push me away
Oh come let us adore him
Abuse and then ignore him
No matter what, don't let him be
Let's feed upon his misery
Now it's time for them to deal with me

VI. The Inevitable Summer
(Instrumental)

VII. The Crimson Sunset
I'm much wiser now
A lifetime of memories
run through my head
They taught me how
for better or worse, alive or dead
I realize there's no turning back
Life goes on the offbeaten track
I sit down with my son
Set to see the Crimson Sunset
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
Many years have come and gone
I've lived my life, but now must move on
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
He is my only one
Now that my time has come
Now that my life is done
We look into the sun
'Seize the day and don't you cry,
Now it's time to say good-bye
Even though I'll be gone,
I will live on, live on.'

Review about A Change Of Seasons

guys guys | Reviewer: anonymous | 11/17/09

Apart from the two bands representing completely different music genres, i'd like to add that most of the members of DT are actually university professors teaching music (one of them being Petrucci)...
This song is one of my favourites, although it annoys me that some riffs are not connected to each other especially in the third part...
The guys are really focusing on the music of the song but they also write amazing lyrics!



Dream Theater and X japan are different type of genres! | Reviewer: zool nasri | 11/12/09

I'm both the fan of this two bands alright? But don't you guys get it? Dream Theater got their own types of music so does X japan.. Seriously stop comparing both of these band.. But seriously I'm gonna say as a musician.. A change of seasons is way to perfect.. I'm not being one sided.. But it's the fact.. It's about their own style of music.. So please.. Stop arguing cause it won't take us anywhere but being a kid who don't have the thinking? I don't care if you all hate me or not.. But It's the fact you all should just learn from a musician.. and I'm a drummer myself..



Double Bass Drumming Doesnt Make A Pro Drummer | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/30/09

Reading through here people are talking about a drummer being pro by how fast he can double kick. Get out of here. Double kick is easy, a true master creates timeless drum patterns throughout many time signatures. This is why Mike Portnoy is alot better than who ever the X Japan drummer is.



Michael | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/23/09

Hey, don't be dissing Art of Life. That song is fucking amazing. It took me more then one listen to realize that, same as it took me more then one listen for me to realize how good this song was.

This song is beautiful, but IMO, Art of Life is my favorite out of the two, more because of all the emotion and soul not only put into writing it, but preforming it as well.

Dream Theatre are masters of their respective instruments, but in some cases it is a weakness. This song is TOO perfect.



X JAPAN | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/7/09

Art of Life flows much better than DT's songs that are around the same time limit. Fuck all of you bastards who bad mouth X Japan. You're some of the worst racial bigots on Earth. DT's music is a bunch of crazyness thrown together and called a song, it frustrates me to fucking hell how epic people think they are. X Japan are leaps and bounds ahead of these guys on the epic scale, I'm sorry. Ignore, X's pre-90's stuff, yea it's thrashy, but fucking DT will NEVER make songs as good as Art of Life or Rose of Pain, never. Yoshiki is the type of guy born once every 200 years or so.



X Japan... | Reviewer: Jordan | 7/28/09

So I've been reading these comments, and people are saying ACoS sounds like X Japan's Art of Life..so I listened to it. Honestly, Art of Life is a piece of shit that doesn't compare to A Change of Seasons. I didn't hear any similarities, only shit that I can't believe people call "music." Worst half hour of my damn life that I will never see again.



What a great song! | Reviewer: Mohanad | 4/2/09

Listen X-gayfan... I dunno why you're feeling so offended by this song. But I thought about it, and I figured that your tiny penis might be the cause.

Anyways, at the start of listening to DT, I used to like some of their songs that weren't that progressive. A change of a seasons was one of the songs that I never got, I liked parts of it, but not it as a whole. However, after I got more deeply involved into their other songs from Train of Tought, when I came back to this song. I was REALLY AMAZED! I realized that I almost knew nothing about progressive metal when I didn't like this song. In my opinion, if you're a DT fan but you don't like this song, then maybe you still dont know wheter you like progressive metal or not. But give it some time, listen to their other stuff and trust me this song will become a masterpiece to you're heart.

DREAM THEATER YOU ARE AMAZING!

My fav DT song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/24/09

Sure, they can play really fast and in weird timing, but here is where they really make it sound good and flow great. And as a bonus, James' voice doesn't sound out of place in this one. Perfection.



No no no! | Reviewer: Archer | 7/28/08

A Change of Seasons was written in '89 along with Metropolis Pt.1. This is from the liner notes of the ACoS EP. (Most of Images and Words was written during this transition time, when DT had no singer. This is from Mike in "The Score So Far".)

Also, they played this song live years before ever actually releasing the EP. There are actually bootlegs with Kevin Moore playing keyboards in ACoS, rather than Derek Sherinian on the album release. An overwhelming amount of fan response was one of the reasons why they ended up releasing it.



X Japan vs DreamTheater | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/10/08

Hi-five to every single DT fan here. I've been listening to both groups for a while, and we all have to admit they are all good musicians. For instance, DT is by far the most technical group I've seen in many, many years. Sure, we have Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, Planet X and other guys that are excellent shredders. But to perfectly understand my point of view, just watch a X Japan concert dvd, then go with a DT concert dvd. You'll see that the DT guys know their instruments like no other.

For the "Art of life" debate, it was created in '92, if memory serves me correctly. "A change of seasons" was suppose to feature in the '92 Images and Words cd, but was latter released. For the extreme fans of DT (I'm one of them!), "A change of seasons" is on the Images and Words demo cd.

Plus, if you take a look at the '90's context, X Japan (I'm sorry fot those who really like it) just sounds like the other "hair metal" groups, but in little better and little more creative. DT is, remember that, a progressive metal band. Based more on music - somehow, they did not forget the lyrics!

...and for those saying Mike Portnoy isn't that good, well know this... he was the youngest ever drummer to be inducted to the modern drummer hall of fame, in the early 2000.
