I thought you were an English teacher? :P (Forgive me if that's wrong, I haven't looked at these forums in probably over a year, and don't really know any of you, but that seemed to strike me as familiar for some reason.)
Eerie :huh:
It's probably one of my favourite Dream Theater songs. It's grande, not just in size, but in "epicity" (if that was ever a word.) The song embodies life itself.
"I sit down with my son, set to see the crimson sunset."
Anyway, yeah, it's quite a piece. It's not like the decided, "Hey, let's make a long song just to be cool." It just came to be that way. Fitting for a tale of life.
(Though this isn't really an emotional song, Manowar - Achilles, Agony, and Ecstacy in Eight Parts may be worth checking out. It's a long ballad(5:30 longer than ACoS) about, well, Achilles.)
Is grace enough to build a bridge once burned, to fill that which is hollow with the substance of virtue,
Though the wings of a dove have wiped a tear from my eye, my tongue has fanned the flames of transgression,
But love suffers long and rejoices in truth, and this imperfect creation is striving none the less for that which is eternal...
