Dream Theater Metropolis Part I “The Miracle And The Sleeper”(C) 1992 Atco Records -words and music by James LaBrie, Kevin Moore, John Myung, John Petrucci, and Mike Portnoy Lyrics 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 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
