Funny thing is when I listen to A New Beginning, all those criticism about mangini's drum sound, LaBrie's vocals, lack of dynamics e.t.c. are easily gone. None of them exist anymore in that song. In a song Dream Theater being Dream Theater.
In the Emperor’s Palace - Day
[Faythe]
Father, I implore you
Don’t believe a word
He is not the enemy
That is just absurd
You may see his talent
As some kind of threat
But I knew we were meant to be
From the day we met
Give us both a chance
For a new beginning
Nothing would mean more to me
He is just a man
Can’t you show him mercy
Sympathy and strength go hand in hand
[Nafaryus]
This man’s a fraud and hoax
He’ll only shatter your hopes
Saddest of all is to watch how you fall
For this person who you hardly know
[Faythe]
Ignorant and stubborn
You have no respect
Not just for your flesh and blood
But all who you protect
[Faythe]
Listen without judgment
Keep an open mind
If you cannot see the truth
You’re the one who’s blind
We don’t stand a chance
That is his opinion
Mother, can you talk to him?
[Arabelle]
Try to understand
How they must be feeling
Misery’s to know what might have been
[Nafaryus]
Why would I ever concede
To listen to this fool
How can you be so naive?
You must be living in a world of make-believe
Do you really think this charlatan is who he claims to be?
[Empress Arabelle]
Not long ago there was a time and place
You too possessed the same desires as Faythe
You knew how it felt to feel invisible
Music calmed your soul, just like a drug
Remember Bug?
[Faythe]
Father is it true,
Bug was always you?
Finally I can reveal, how music makes me feel
Now you understand
Why I was hiding
This changes everything
[Nafaryus]
I will grant the chance
For a new beginning
In the end the final word rests with me
