Honor Thy Father Lyrics
Artist(Band):Dream Theater
Review The Song (19)Print the Lyrics
We're taught unconditional love
That blood is thicker than water
That a parent's world would revolve
Always around their son or their daughter

You pretended I was your own
And even believed that you loved me
But were always threatened by some
Invisible blood line that only you could see

You took advantage of an outreached hand
And twisted it to meet your every need
''Gimme time to re-charge my batteries,
I'll see her when she's older and I'll bounce her on my knee''

Well listen to me you ungrateful fool
Here comes a dose of reality
You'll go to your grave a sad and lonely man
The door is now closed on your pathetic little plan

On and on and on and on it goes
It's so easy to run away with nothing in tow

How can you ever sleep a wink at night
Pretending that everything is alright
And have the nerve to blame this mess on me

Never in my life have I seen someone
So ignorant to the damage he has done
You're the rotted root in the family tree

I tried your 4 bill therapy
I tried to make amends
But nothing could lure you out of your selfish shell again
Expecting everyone to bow and kiss your feet
Don't you see respect is not a one way street
Blaming everyone for all that you've done wrong
I'll get my peace of mind when you hear this song

On and on and on and on it goes
And with every passing day true colors show

How can you ever sleep a wink at night
Pretending that everything is alright
And have the balls to blame this mess on me

Never in my life have I seen someone
Oblivious to the damage he has done
You're the rotted root in the family tree

Watch where you walk
Don't you dare cross the crooked step
Watch the way you talk
Don't cross the crooked step

["This is a regret that you make"]
["We're still connected"]
["This is a regret that you make-"]
["I want my family back"]
["-and there's something you take"]
["You can't have it. I'm sorry for you, but it's too late…"]
["Mistakes like this… You don't make"]
["Can't you see anything except in terms of how it affects you?"]
["You make some… And they'll get to you"]
["You don't love anybody"]
["I gave you money, I gave you a car, I took you in-"]
["It's not OK, son"]
["-but don't that mean something?"]
["A little…"]
["Do I admire people too much?"]
["No… You should do better"]
["That disappoints you…"]
["God damn regrets!"]
["You deserve to die alone for what you've done!!"]
["GOD DAMN REGRETS!"]
["Don't deny it"]
["You cocksucker, I know you're here."]
["Don't deny it"]
["I want you to know I hate your fucking guts."]
["The biggest regret in my life"]
["I wish you'd fucking die."]
["I've let my love go"]
["I'm your blood… I'm your family"]
["Is that you?"]
["You're not my family, not anymore"]
["The fucking regrets!"]
["When your own flesh and blood renounces you..."]
["What did I do?"]
["...you have no choice but to renounce them."]
["WHAT DID I DO?!"]

On and on and on and on it goes
Chauvinistic, heartless, selfish, cold

How can you ever sleep a wink at night
Pretending that everything is alright
And have the balls to blame this shit on me

Never in my life have I seen someone
So fucking blind to the damage he has done
You're the rotted root in the family tree

Review about Honor Thy Father

Masterpiece! | Reviewer: Ana | 10/26/09

I'm falling deeper and deeper in love with the band. They’re all such incredibly talented musicians! Dream Theater is today definitely my all time- favorite band, and Honor thy Father is a masterpiece. The atmosphere is as in all their songs, so easy to notice, and the balance between the guitar and the drums really define that heaviness and fury that this song is based on. Kudos to Mike Portnoy for great lyrics (can’t understand how he manages to write something as great as this song). And to John Petrucci for outstanding guitar skills, he’s a god.



Honor Thy Father | Reviewer: Dreamist | 10/3/09

I agree with you!
It took me a while to like this song, at first it was my least favorite song from the album (Train Of Thought) but now it is definately one of my favorites, it has such an huge energy inside and the drums with the guitar works awsome together and the lyrics are so strong.



Honor my Father I shall | Reviewer: FrustRatioN | 9/22/09

I like this song for being such an agressive exception in Dream Theater's production. I'm not into aggressive metal but this works so well. I love the drum lines in this song and this always makes me smile because of the energy inside it. I agree, LaBrie is not very good in live performances but in studio he's a great vocalist in a great band.



pros and cons | Reviewer: Mr. Nobias | 4/17/09

The intro is great, the lyrics match the music, and I absolutely love the groovy half-time riff throughout the song, but the slight time sig. changes (7/8) could have been avoided, and the song seems a bit too long for it's own good. It's good, but there's better songs in Train of Thought, like As I Am and Endless Sacrifice.



Dear God! | Reviewer: Mircea | 3/3/09

I was introduced to Dream Theater by my fiancee when we first met. Since then, I've become an addict. I don't think it's possible to say that this band has any flaw what-so-ever. Their dynamics work perfectly, and their unique style gives them an original flavor that no one else could ever think of. Not to mention that they're teachers! How could anyone say they suck? This particular song (Honor Thy Father) is one of my favorites. It's intense and holds so much emotion. To all you John Petrucci fans, I salute you!!!



Excellent Song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/5/09

There's not one band member that this band could go without currently, whether it's Rudess, Petrucci, LaBrie, Myung, or Portnoy. They're all excellent, and Dream Theater wouldn't be the same without them.



Lovin it | Reviewer: Héctor | 9/17/07

LAs cancones de Dream theater me encantan tanto sus letras como su musica estan muy bien sincronizadas me sorprende me encanta



The Movie... | Reviewer: Josh | 7/21/07

I know some of the movie quotes are from At Close Range. I watched it earlier today and instantly recognized the lyrics.



Fuckin amazin | Reviewer: vasos | 6/19/07

one of their best songs-love the buildin up in the middle- keep on RUdess!



Bang up job! | Reviewer: Magicfingers | 5/25/07

Great lyrics, I love reading the dialog in the middle, and the last couple lines. I can totally relate to everything so this is an awesome for me. And of course the monster riffage.

Does anyone know where the quotes come from? sounds like a familiar movie.
