Metropolis Pt. 1 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 

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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 

Photos 

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
