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 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 would 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!

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!
