Dream Theater - Metropolis - live at the the marquee club, london, april 23,1993 lyrics

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
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 a 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
