But those two features are in several other DT choruses.. Like Under a Glass Moon (only the second feature), Lost Not Forgotten (these two have exactly the same structure 
), Peruvian Skies (the second feature), Beyond this Life (both), The Spirit Carries On (the second one), Misunderstood (the second), The Answer Lies Within (second), Outcry (first), The Enemy Inside (second)..
Right... So those are all their choruses. Hence why I consider the one in LTL the chorus as well. The only thing that really sets it apart is that the first one just goes, "spread before me is my soul, I'm learning to live, I won't give up til I've no more to give, no more to give," and the second time, it goes, "spread before you is your soul, so forever hold the dreams within our hearts, with nature's inflexible grace I'm learning to live". So there, even the structure is different. But I'd still count it.
Yeah, I agree with this.. It's very ambiguos and undetermined.. In fact, that kind of chorus is the same that in The Glass Prison.. "Help Me - Save Me - Heal Me".. I always like the way it seems to end, but continues..
About ItPoE pt 1, one more thing.. I also consider this: "Servants of the fallen..." to "...Standing in their way" as the main chorus of the whole two songs (or tracks 
).. Anyway, if it is, then it'd be a weird chorus, I know.. There's something strange on it, very peculiar.. I completely love it.. Specially the "through a veil of madness" part in The Slaughter of the Damned...
I'd say Servants of the fallen to be more of a bridge... But it depends on whether you consider ITPOE 1 and 2 to be separate songs or the same one, because it does reoccur in part 2, so it can definitely be counted as a chorus in that context. But if you look at ITPOE1 just by itself, it definitely doesn't act like a chorus in that context.
Here you have two songs with, I think, unquestionable choruses, but with only one appearance on them: One Last Time (maybe that's why they've called it that way 
) and About to Crash (Reprise), which we know it's not a song, but also that is a special case, along with the rest of the movements within SDoIT.. However, while by themselves it's clear they have their choruses appearing only one time throughout the song, those choruses are repeated in some other place, earlier or later in the album they are.. One Last Time's chorus is on Finally Free and About to Crash (Reprise)'s chorus is on About to Crash, two times in this case..
Well, it depends on how you look at it, because if as most people, you consider SDOIT to be one song, then About to Crash and About to Crash reprise are both a part of one single song, in which case, it would techincally count as two appearances. And in fact, when I listened to About to Crash for the first time, I didn't consider that part a chorus (we are talking about "still it hurts to just get by" part, right?), because after it, we move on to War inside my Head, so it really gives About to Crash the appearance of not having a chorus at all, until 10+ minutes later when you hear the reprise and that part comes up again, and then it suddenly clicks.
But structurally, it doesn't act like a chorus.
There is another weird case, in The Glass Prison actually. Aside from the one you mentioned, it can be argued that the first chorus in it could be a non-recurring one, which goes, "Crawling to my glass prison, a place where no one knows." Although it doesn't appear in the song again, the structure of it repeats twice:
Crawling to my glass prison
A place where no one knows
My secret lonely world begins
So much safer here
A place where I can go
To forget about my daily sins
Life here in my glass prison
A place I once called home
Fall in nocturnal bliss again
Chasing a long lost friend
I no longer can control
Just waiting for this hopelessness to endThe fact that the Glass Prison words repeat twice, and always at the same part of the melodic structure, really makes it seem like a chorus that repeats but with slightly different lyrics.
