Metropolis, Part 1

歌詞

[music by Dream Theater, lyrics by John Petrucci] 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 theres a miracle for each day that I try I was told theres a new love thats born for each one that has died I was told thered be no one to call on when I feel alone and afraid I was told if you dream of the next world Youll find yourself swimming in a lake of fire As a child, I thought I could live without pain without sorrow But as a man Ive found its all caught up with me Im asleep yet Im so afraid Somewhere like a scene from a memory Theres 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 citys cold blood teaches us to survive Just keep my heart in your eyes and well 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 Shes 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
