In gut zwei Wochen bringen die Prog Metal Giganten von DREAM THEATER ihren neuen Langdreher „Parasomnia“ auf den Markt, von dem sie nun die dritte Auskopplung `Midnight Messiah´ in einer Art Tour Diary Video vorstellen. Die Scheibe entsteht im für viele Fans einzig wahren wiederverinigten Lineup mit James LaBrie, John Petrucci, John Myung, Jordan Rudess und Mike Portnoy.
Drummer Mike Portnoy führt aus:
“It was great writing lyrics again and contributing this chapter to the Parasomnia story. DT fans may get a kick out of discovering some of the hidden nuggets I planted in the song referencing many of my past DT lyrics…and the music video is a great representation of the excitement of the first two tour legs we recently completed throughout Europe and South America. Just in time to prepare for our next leg throughout North America which we are so excited to embark on,”

Lyrics:
Lost time
Thought I lost my mind
How the hell did I end up here?
Rewind
Help to remind
The last thing I can remember
Dreamtime
Floating cloud nine
Heavenly bliss utopia
Sublime
Feeling so divine
Just another pleasant nightmare
In my dreams
There’s a song I once knew
Like an uncanny Strange Déjà vu
Memories flashing all through my brain
Over and over and over again
Midnight messiah
Darkness descends
Eternally wired
The dream never ends
Twilight desires
Midnight messiah
Moon shine
Time to come alive
No rest for the wicked
Downtown
Have a look around
Feeding the obsession in my head
There’s a place that I go
Where no one’s afraid
It’s a feeling that we all know
But everyone’s ashamed to say
In my dreams
There’s a flame burning bright
Constant motion shines into the night
Forevermore blistering out of control
Over and and over and over it goes
Midnight messiah
Darkness descends
Eternally wired
The dream never ends
Twilight desires
Midnight messiah
Back in the Waking Life
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
I realize
I can no longer fly alone
Help find my destiny
Take me back into the dream
For all eternity
It’s calling me back to my HOME
In my life
I’ve lost all self control
Like a sword piercing This Dying Soul
Breaking and shaking and left in the cold
Watch this compulsive obsession unfold
Midnight messiah
Darkness descends
Eternally wired
The dream will never end
I can’t stand the pressure
The daytime collectors
I’ll never go back there again
Keep those eyes closed
You’re now going home
Forever alive in your head
Twilight eternal
Midnight messiah
