Medley: Metropolis Lyrics - Dream Theater

[music by Dream Theater, lyrics by John Petrucci] 

The smile of dawn 

Arrived in 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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I was told theres a miracle for each day that I try 

I was told theres a new love thats born for each one that has died 

I was told thered be no one to call on when I feel alone and afraid 

I was told if you dream of the next world 

Youll find yourself swimming in a lake of fire 

As a child, I thought I could live without pain without sorrow 

But as a man Ive found its all caught up with me 

Im asleep yet Im so afraid 

Somewhere like a scene from a memory 

Theres 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 citys cold blood teaches us to survive 

Just keep my heart in your eyes and well stay alive 

The third arrives... 

Photos 

Before 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 

Shes 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
