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 (1)________ without pain
Without sorrow
As a man I've (2)__________ it's all caught up (3)________ 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 (4)________ faces before me
It (5)__________ 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 (6)________ fallen
Before we lock the doors
There must be the third and last dance
This one will (7)________ forever
Metropolis watches and (8)________________________ smiles
She's taken you to (9)________ home
It can (10)________ 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
