Metropolis - Part I: "The Miracle and the Sleeper" - Live at Roseland Ballroom, New York City, NY, 8/30/2000

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 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
 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
