Metropolis, Part 1 Lyrics

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 there's 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 from 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...

[Instrumental break]

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.
Love is the Dance of Eternity.
