Metropolis, Pt. 1: The Miracle And The Sleeper Lyrics - The Studio Albums 1992-2011 - 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 

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 

but 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 (scene from a memory) 

there's a picture worth a thousand words (thousand words) 

eluding stares from faces before me (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
