Metropolis Pt. 1 - Dream Theater

The smile of dawn arrived early May

She carried a gift from her home

The night shed a tear to tell her of fear

And of sorrow and pain she'll never outgrow

Death is the first dance, eternal

There's no more freedom

The both of you will be confined, yeah, to this mind

I was told there's a miracle for each day that I try

I was told there's a new love that's born for each one that has died

I was told there'd be no one I call on when I feel alone and afraid

I was told if you dream of the next world

You'll find yourself swimming in a lake of fire

As a child, I thought I could live without pain, without sorrow

As a man I've found it's all caught up with me

I'm asleep yet I'm so afraid

Somewhere like a scene from a memory

There's a picture worth a thousand words

Eluding stares from the faces before me

It hides away and will never be heard of again

Deceit is the second [incomprehensible]

The city's cold blood teaches us to survive

Just keep your heart in my eyes and we'll stay alive

The third arrives

Before the leaves have fallen, before we lock the doors

There must be a third and last dance, this one will last forever

Metropolis watches, thoughtfully smiles

She's taken you to your home

It can only take place

When the struggle between our children has ended

Now the miracle

The sleeper know that the third is love

Love is the dance of eternity
