DREAM THEATER lyrics : "Metropolis - Part I - "the Miracle And The Sleeper""

The smile of dawn
Arrived in 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 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
