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 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   But 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...      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
