Pull Me Under / Metropolis Lyrics


Pull Me Under:

Lost in the sky

Clouds roll by and I roll with them

Arrows fly

Seas increase and then fall again

This world is spinning around me

This world is spinning without me

Every day sends future to past

Every breath leaves one less to my last

Watch the sparrow falling

Gives new meaning to it all

If not today nor yet tomorrow then some other day

I'll take seven lives for one

And then my only father's son

As sure as I ever did love him

I am not afraid

This world is spinning around me

The whole world keeps spinning around me

All life is future to past

Every breath leaves me one less to my last

Pull me under Pull me under

Pull me under I'm not afraid

All that I feel is honor and spite

All I can do is to set it right

Dust fills my eyes

Clouds roll by and I roll with them

Centuries cry

Orders fly and I fall again

This world is spinning inside me

The whole world is spinning inside of me

Every day sends future to past

Every step brings me closer to my last

Pull me under Pull me under

Pull me under I'm not afraid

Living my life too much in the sun

Only until your will is done

Metropolis:

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'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...

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
