[Part 1]

[Charlie Dominici]
The smile of dawn arrived early May
She carried a gift from her home

[James LaBrie]
The night shed a tear to tell her of fear
And of sorrow and pain, she'll never outgrow

[Bridge: Charlie Dominici]
Death is the first dance, eternal

[Part 2: Charlie Dominici]
There's no more freedom
The both of you will be confined
To this mind

[Part 3: Charlie Dominici]
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 onе to call on when I feel alone and afraid
I was told if you dream of thе next world
You'll find yourself swimming in a lake of fire
[Part 4: James LaBrie]
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

[Part 5: James LaBrie]
Somewhere like a scene from a memory
There's a picture worth a thousand words
Eluding stares the faces before me
It hides away and will never be heard of again

[Bridge]
Deceit is the second without end

[Part 6: Charlie Dominici]
The city's cold blood teaches us to survive
Just keep my heart in your eyes and we'll stay alive
The third arrives...

[Instrumental Break]

[Part 7]

[James LaBrie]
Before the leaves have fallen
Before we lock the doors
[Charlie Dominici]
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

[Part 8]
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

[Outro: James LaBrie and Charlie Dominici]
Love is the Dance of Eternity!
