dream theater - metropolis - atco demo 1991 lyrics

[instrumental intro]

[intro]
oh, ooh…

[verse 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
to this mind

[verse 2]
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 onе to call on when i feel alone and afraid
i was told if you dream of thе 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!
[verse 3]
somewhere like a scene from a memory (scene from a memory)
there’s a picture worth a thousand words (a thousand words)
eluding stares the faces before me (faces before me)
it hides away and will never be heard of again (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]

[verse 4]
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!
