Metropolis Pt. 1

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, yeah, 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 I 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 the faces before me It hides away and will never be heard of again Deceit is the second [incomprehensible] The city's cold blood teaches us to survive Just keep your heart in my 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, 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 The sleeper know that the third is love Love is the dance of eternity
