Hello, I've just found this song in recommend while listening to Metallica. This is my first song of Dream Theater and first listening to it. I quite liked it, so i think I'm gonna stay here for some time. Maybe I'll join in their fanbase. Greetings from Poland!

That Solo Section is the most soulful stuff petrucci ever created . Systematic Chaos is definetly an underated Album .

one of their best intros, in my opinion.

One of DT's best songs, and best intros. Pure class

This song is basically the one that made me a huge fan of Dream theater!

Nunca habia escuchado bien a Dream Theater, deje la musica corren en mis audifonos en la computadora, de repente... llego, me pongo las audifonos y no se necesito mas de 30 segundos para captar toda mi atencion en esta cancion, instrumentos y ritmica para volver a reproducir como 12 veces esta cancion, que cancion tan cabrona!

the pinch harmonic in the first solo is why I love petrucci. in one note he can add a lot of variations. a true magician

John Myung is a master of bass!

2020 anyone?

What a masterpiece...DT was very much alive back in 2007. Remember listening to this back when it came out and thinking that all those people who claim that DT is irrelevant after Awake are just fools.

This song is so beatiful. Dream Theater is amazing. I just recently got into them(maybe a week ago or less).I picked up all there albums. I love them ALL. They are not only masters at the instruments they play, but have mastered the art of composing there own brilliant progressive music. This is the most consistent band I've ever seen also. With songs in each album that just blow my mind :) Can't wait for there 2009 album!!!

This song is just pure pure pure masterclass!!!!

I got this album recently and, I'll tell you what, it's hella good. I've never had songs give me such a sense of power before but this chorus makes me feel indestructible! Damn fine track.

Jon's slow part are always emotional, awesome .

you cannot sleep with enemies nearby!

i love the transition from 2:00 to 2:10! holy shit great music!

Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful song by a wonderful band!!!!

The best intro song.Amazing as ever

One of DT's more underrated tunes. Great way to intro an album. Has a slight SyX vibe.

"alright, let's cover this song" *First 23 seconds already too hard*

4:23 begins one of the best moments in dream theater's discography

2:15 the notes hit there are some of my favourite moments in music EVER. so sweet and beautiful. magnificent. JP never fails to impress

this was 15 years ago, damn i remember ordering this cd when i was deployed.

1:40-2:00 is so sick! Must be insanely hard to play

3:36 = one of the best moments in musical history. I only wish they would have kept that idea, for lack of a better word, going on for a while longer.

There are two things we will never see again from DT. An album like Scenes and a song like this. Sad but true.

How is there people disliking this song? It's awesome

I love dt seen them at least 5 times!!! DT and YES best tour ever!!!

Portnoy at 4:33 blows my mind

Lyrics of this song (Part I. & II.) appear in the Manhwa "Priest", and it is pretty awesome.

This is the first time I've actually sat and listened to a Dream Theater piece. Made me think of a mix of Kansas and E.L.P. with maybe a little Uriah Heep thrown in. Pretty good, I'm going to have to check out some more of their stuff.

7:33 pure awesomeness

1:42 Zelda a link to the past >>> boss song

3:35 is just epic. The good times when Dream Theater was epic, awesome, mind blowing, etc.!

eargasmed from 4:06 to 4:50.

In The Presene Of Enemies (Pt 1) I Prelude (Instrumental) II Resurrection ♫ I saw a white light, shining there before me And walking to it, I waited for the end A final vision, promising salvation A resurrection, for a fallen men Do you still wait for your God And the symbol of your faith? I can free you from this hell and misery You should never be ashamed my son I can give you power beyond anything Trust me you will be the chosen one I was forgotten, a body scorned and broken My soul rejected, tainted by his blood Beyond redemption, a sinner not worth saving Forever taken, from the one I loved Do I still wait for my God An the symbol of my faith? I can lead you down the path and back to life All I ask is that you worship me I can help you seek revenge and save yourself Give you life for all eternity Servants of the fallen, fight to pave the way For their savior's calling, of this wricked day Through the veil of madness, one of vicious blade One man rises up, standing in the way (Redemption) Redemption (For Humanity) Redemption for humanity

4:51 to 5:04. Heavy metallic objets compressing the earth. When you feel the weight of music. Lol

Amazing song with the most epic riff JP has ever come up with at 8:10-8:36

Ke sini karna behind the scene take vocal cover nya sanca record.... Goksss

2:15....reminds me of walking down a street at night and looking up at that lightpost thats on the album cover. Everytime I hear it. so magical

This is the best opening for them when they play live ❤️ its so cool and epic 😏

I just found out they're going to play this song on their next tour, can't wait to go see them

2:10 Sherlock Holmes XD

5/8 11/9 2198128182/1818181 and a bit of Paprika too

an ORGASMIC piece by dream theater!! ... now to clean my mess up.

The endurance of the bass player is ridiculous.

Bought this album on release day, when Best Buy still had a pretty deep CD section.

4:12 - 5:12 is the best minute of the song imo

114 enemies didn't like the song

2023! 🎉Welcome back Mike! 🎉

Totally Rush this is it. Amazing intro.

I love the lyrics and the drums. They sound wicked but still excellent played.

best song off that album..

Amazing creation !!! the melody really reminds me the soundtrack of sherlock holmes bbc series

the very first album i've heard of this band, its in 2012, and still the better from me

EPIC WIN. GOOSEBUMPS.

4:49 en adelante... QUE HERMOSA MELODIA POR EL AMOR DE MI PERRO!!!!

Awesome song! Dream Theater IS the best!

probably my favourite DT song

Just Awesome

man, DT almost never plays in just one timing

Damn,that was tight.

Best dude, never heard something so cool

Obrigado por existir Dream Theater

1st time hearing this, ohhh and no way is it the last, matter of fact I added 3 plays in one sitting 😊💙

Epic song, epic album, epic band

0:46 natural science by rush!

I get the chills everytime by the ending solo!:P Long live DT

The very best of progressive Rock......😎😎😎🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

I: Prelude [Instrumental] II: Resurrection [Verse 1] I saw a white light shining there before me And walking to it, I waited for the end A final vision promising salvation A resurrection for a fallen man [Pre-Chorus] Do you still wait for your God And the symbol of your faith? [Chorus] I can free you from this Hell and misery You should never be ashamed, my son I can give you power beyond anything Trust me you will be the chosen one [Verse 2] I was forgotten, a body scorned and broken My soul rejected, tainted by his blood Beyond redemption, a sinner not worth saving Forever taken from the one I loved [Pre-Chorus] Do I still wait for my God And a symbol of my faith? [Chorus] I can lead you down the path and back to life All I ask is that you worship me I can help you seek revenge and save yourself Give you life for all eternity [Bridge] Servants of the fallen fight to pave the way For their savior's calling on this wicked day Through a veil of madness, with a vicious blade One man rises up, standing in their way

Awake is the best DT album. This is top 5 though.

OK, John, now we knows how you made that headbang riff from "Glasgow Kiss" 0:05 ))

Music speaks volumes to millions, words speak to those only who understand them...

If Petrucci were president, then he could time warp us out of Iraq. I'd like to see someone come up with a better policy than that!

Those keyboards scales.

2:39 is it just me or it's like sherlock tv series theme song? i'm not saying who copy who, just sound the same in my ears

'main computer' 'main' 'computer' >Implying there is such thing as a central computer in a distributed system such as this

I just rediscovered this song (and part 2) and this might be a controversial take but, Dream Theater are a pretty good band.

My favourite intro

i love this song 😍

MAN! That ending solo of Rudess and Petrucci is awesome:P

Listen to this song on Psychedelics . The first 2 minutes is just phenomenal and you WILL get lost in it.

I know, huh!! It's pretty great!

I'm a huge fan of DT but this music somehow reminds me of the Witcher TV series

I think it goes in basicly everything :P, the intro/vers riff is 6/4 and 7/4 I think, the very first intro-thingie is 5/8 and 7/8. 9/8 10/8 11/8 12/8... Yeah, basicly everything :P

Esse álbum é espetacular 👊

I have the transcriptions too a lot of the time they'll give you the guitar lines even if Jordan doesn't actually play it . I think its better getting a book that always have a music than having like a random 16 bars of rests

I like the part from 0:00 to 9:01

Oh shit! Rush just went metal! :o

DREAMTHEATER - TOUR WITH IRON MAIDEN AGAIN PLEASE

2:12 omg sherlock opening theme

First DT-song i've heard and what a awesome one _0_

I love trying to play this song on guitar hero.

In The Presence of Enemies is DT's 2112.

the devil's voice! I love this cd man! one of the bests my weed never been so awesome to smoke

simply amazing.

i dont think any bands as talented as dream theater when is comes to song writing and timeing :):)

petrucci is one of the most accomplished and respected musicians in the world i don't think he'd be on the top 10 shredders of all time list if he can't play his own material as you say

I was here, Nick.

I am a fan of dream theater
