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 one 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 thousnad words
eluding stares from faces before me
it hides away and will never be heard of again
deceit the second without end
the city's cold blood teaches us to servive
just keep your heart in your eyes and will stay allive
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 the third is love
love is the dance of eternity
