Anybody else think Portnoy got a little lazy on the musical side of this song. I know how this is the last of a 5 song suite where it covers each of the 12 steps of AA.

Dont get me wrong I thought it was pretty badass of a song, they all were, but it just seems kinda cheep to simply copy and paste parts from different songs onto this song.

Fateful ascent Through darkest fires I've found the path To take me higher -from The Glass Prison

Keep all of me The desires that once burned me deep inside Help me live today And help to give me grace To carry out your ways I am ready Help me be all I can be I am ready Help guide me and keep me free -from Root of All Evil

Very end of song was part from the song Octavarium, then it stopped and it had the drum beats from the intro of The Root of All Evil

Not to mention its littered with other little tidbits from other songs... but hey, it did sound pretty cool.

Oh absolutely. Portnoy totally assed this piece.

Well, they reprise the whole theme in this song! Come on, who doesn't like a "Rock Opera" or "Musical" that end the way it starts! I love listening to Overture, and the song end with composing all part and cramp it into one song!
