Metropolis - Part I 'the Miracle & The Sleeper' Lyrics - 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

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

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

Before we lock the doors 

There must be the third and

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
