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
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 the 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
