Metropolis, Pt. 1

She's taken you to your home
As a man I've found it's all caught up with me
The city's cold blood teaches us to survive
I'm asleep yet I'm so afraid

The both of you will be confined, yeah, to this mind
When the struggle between our children has ended
There must be a third and last dance, this one will last forever
And of sorrow and pain she'll never outgrow
Eluding stares from the faces before me

I was told there's a miracle for each day that I try
Just keep your heart in my eyes and we'll stay alive
It hides away and will never be heard of again
I was told if you dream of the next world

The night shed a tear to tell her of fear
I was told there's a new love that's born for each one that has died

The third arrives
Death is the first dance, eternal
The sleeper know that the third is love

I was told there'd be no one I call on when I feel alone and afraid
It can only take place
Somewhere like a scene from a memory

You'll find yourself swimming in a lake of fire
Before the leaves have fallen, before we lock the doors
Now the miracle
Deceit is the second [incomprehensible]
There's no more freedom
As a child, I thought I could live without pain, without sorrow
Metropolis watches, thoughtfully smiles
There's a picture worth a thousand words
