Letra da Música Metropolis – Part I ‘the Miracle And The Sleeper Dream Theater

The smile of dawn
Arrived early May
She carried a gift from my home
The night shed a tear
To tell her of fear
And of sorrow and pain
She'll never outgrowDeath is the first dance, eternalThere's no more freedom
The both of you will be confined to this mindI 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 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 fireAs a child, I thought I could live without pain without sorrow
But as a man I've found it's all caught up with me
I'm asleep yet I'm so afraidSomewhere 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 againDeceit is the second without endThe city's cold blood teaches us to survive
Just keep my heart in your eyes and we'll stay aliveThe third arrivesBefore the leaves have fallen
Before we lock the doors
There must be a third and last dance
This one will last forever
Metropolis watches and thoughtfully smiles
She's taken you to your homeIt can only take place
When the struggle between our children has ended
Now the Miracle and the Sleeper know that the third is loveLove is the Dance of Eternity
