Carpe Diem
(Mike Portnoy)
´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, [Sample is James Waterston from ]
Old Time is still a-flying; [the film "Dead Poet´s Society". ]
And this same flower that smiles today, [From the poem "To The Virgins, To]
Tomorrow will be dying." [Make Much Of Time" by Robert ]
[Herrick. ]
We can learn from the past
But those days are gone
We can hope for the future
But there might 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 [Various samples mainly John ]
ever hear." [Voight from the film "Table For ]
"If you´re lying to me..." [Five", some are from the film ]
"Oh, you dearly love her." ["Dead Poet´s Society". ]
"...just have to leave... all our lives."
"Seize the day!"
"Something happened."
"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may."
"She was killed."
