Under a Glass Moon Lyrics
Tell me
Remind me
Chase the water racing from
the sky
Always beside me
Tasting the memories running
from my eyes
Nervous flashlights scan my
dreams
Liquid shadows silence their
screams
I smile at the moon
Chasing water from the sky
I argue with the clouds
Stealing beauty from my eyes
Outside the soundness of your
mind
Bathing your soul in silver tears
Beneath a blackened summer sky
Praying for time to disappear
Beneath a summer sky
Under glass moonlight
Night awaits the lamb's arrival
Liquid shadows crawl
Silver teardrops fall
The bride subsides to her
survival
By your hand
I've awakened
Bear this honor in my name
Remind me
Chase the water racing from
the sky
Always beside me
Tasting the memories running
from my eyes
Nervous flashlights scan my
dreams
Liquid shadows silence their
screams
I smile at the moon
Chasing water from the sky
I argue with the clouds
Stealing beauty from my eyes
mind
Bathing your soul in silver tears
Beneath a blackened summer sky
Praying for time to disappear
Under glass moonlight
Night awaits the lamb's arrival
Liquid shadows crawl
Silver teardrops fall
The bride subsides to her
survival
I've awakened
Bear this honor in my name

I think we could easily come up with 100 guitarists better than Cobain and Hammet.
Great DT song, one of my favorites.
I get the feeling this is a story of someone dying. They're having an epiphany and have accepted God. I gather this from lines like "Night awaits the lamb's arrival" and "By your hand I've awakened Bear this honor in my name." And to justify it, the song was written by Petrucci, who was also the writer of "In The Name Of God"(my fave DT song.) another note: this song was the only dream theater song to hit the rolling stone magazines "top 100 solos of all time" which the solo is absolutely amazing in this song...
Yeah, who cares about rolling stone magazine - in their top 100 guitarists of all time they don't even have Petrucci, Malmsteen, Micheal Angelo Batio, Jason Becker and heaps of other guys who are surely - objectively, subjectively - better than any one on that list. Yeah, yeah, there are some there for their influence... But come on, does anyone really believe that Kurt Cobain is 12th greatest guitarist of all time?! And at number 11 is Hammet?! What a joke...
Anyway, yeah, I like this song. (Sorry, I got carried away)
Josue...............Malmsteen may not be on the top 100 guitarists list and dunno why....but they did put his song Black Star in the top 100 greatest guitar solos of all time
aside from the heap of shit that rolling stone magazine is, this song is great and gives me chill bumps whenever i hear the intro. images and words is the best
i think its about more than God i think it might be about the Birth of Jesus because jesus wasnt actually born in winter so i think thats apossible explination.
Rolling Stone knows nothing about music, at least most of the time, So dont feed in to what they say. I would say that John Petrucci is better or at least as good as Hendrix as far as skill goes, he needs to be in the top 10. Eddie Van Halen needs to be in the top ten too. Also Jimmy Page should be in the 1, 2, or 3 spot, not 9th, come on. Hendrix is no better then these 3 guys. And Colbain??? Thats a joke right, I mean can he play anything harder then the main riff of Smoke on the Water?
! do agree that rolling stones magazine has no idea what there talking but jimmy hendrix is an amazing guitarist and smoke on the water is by deep purple, not jimmy

this solo must be the 1st one on that magazine...and also, Petrucci has a lot of great solos, riffs, lyrics and songs !
This is one of the hardest songs for me to figure out, but I feel like it could potentially be about a man who is very different from those around him, and he is not content with merely fitting in for the sake of things becoming easier. His dreams and his thoughts make others who watch nervous, and yet he finds peace within himself and the world around him when there clearly is turmoil over his difference. It also appears that he maybe finds another who thinks similarly (By your hand / I've awakened / Bear this honor in my name). He appears to be confident. The Glass Moon itself could symbolize the fragile tranquility that exists over society.
