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 out grow
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
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
Eleuding 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
The smile of dawn
