Metropolis - Part I: "The Miracle and the Sleeper" - Live at the Marquee Club, London, England, UK, 4/23/1993

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
 But 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 (scene from a memory)
 There's a picture worth a thousand words (thousand words)
 Eluding stares from faces before me (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
