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 a sleep 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 my 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
