Metropolis - part i -

The smile of dawn
Arrived early MayShe carried a gift from herhome
The night shed a tear
To tell her of fear
And of sorrow and painShe'll never outgrow Death is the first dance, eternal There's no more freedom
The both of you will beconfined to this mind I was told there's miracle foreach day that I try
I was told there's a new lovethat's born for each one thathas died
I was told there'd be no one tocall on when I feel alone andafraid
I was told if you dream of thenext worldYou'll find yourself swimmingin a lake of fire As a child, I thought I couldlive without pain withoutsorrow
As a man I've found it's allcaught up with meI'm asleep yet I'm so afraid Somewhere like a scene from amemoryThere's a picture worth athousand words
Eluding stares from facesbefore me
It hides away and will never beheard of again Deceit is the second without end The city's cold blood teaches usto survive
Just keep my heart in your eyesand we'll stay alive The third arrives... Before the leaves have fallen
Before we lock the doors
There must be the third andlast dance
This one will last forever
Metropolis watches andthoughtfully smilesShe's taken you to your home It can only take place
When the struggle betweenour children has ended
Now the Miracle and the
Sleeper know that the thirdis love Love is the Dance of Eternity
