Dream Theater - The Killing Hand
An Angel's kiss now fallen
Descending scarlet cuts the sky
Faded names left on the wall
Honor the fighting leave life to
die
Remembered is the sacrifice but
No praisal of blood still flowing
Who were the leaders?
what controlled the Killing Hand
that caused this mouthing?
Crossing over
Lowered deep into the sea
Being a waits to cleanse his soul
senses weakening time is still
Motionless by stiffening cold
The wheels race back and
Scorch his mind
Traveling all to find the land
Revelation warms a touch
And now he will begin to
Understand
Extended a view to yesterday
Manifestation for none the same
Walking amidst a frightening still
No sound, no smoke, no scorching
Flames
He is risen
Sipping his poison the raven sings
Yet another to add more bodies
fallen
King from below
this one controls
the Killing Hand that caused this
mourning
Is it all over?
Evil genius this secret plan
Mercy dealt with the losing hand
Will he ever fall?
Can he end it all?
Our savior must make his stand
Only a Prophet of years to come
Wanting mortality I'm all alone
He heard my voice
It was my choice
I've stopped the Killing Hand
When I go back again
Will it be the same?
I've stopped the cries
But now they know my name
The sea is calling me
my spirit must return
As I get closer,
was it really worth
what I have learned?
I'm in the valley
And the saddened chimes I hear
Race towards the wall to find
one more name appears
No one is left now
my one and only land
I laugh at what I've done
I am the Killing Hand.

이 노래는 93년 전영혁의 음악세계에서 발 빠르게 소개되어 국내 락팬들에게
많은 사랑을 받았고 나중에는 인천 락 페스티벌에 초대되어 멋진 연주와 노래를
선물했던 기억이 생생합니다.
사담이지만 그때 공연 보러갔다가 폭우로 공연중이던 딮퍼플의 공연이 중단되어
나중에 잠실 펜싱 경기장에서 볼수있는 표를 받아 다시 찾아가 즐겼던 기억이 납니다.
