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 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 to
|
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 faces before me
|
It hides away and will never be heard of again
|
Deceit is the second without end
|
|
The city's cold blood teaches us to survive
|
Just keep my heart in your eyes and we'll stay alive
|
The third arrives...
|
|
Before the leaves have fallen
|
Before we lock the doors
|
There must be the third and last dance
|
This one will last forever
|
Metropolis watches and 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 and the
|
Sleeper know that the third is love
|
Love is the Dance of Eternity
|
