Pull Me Under / Metropolis Lyrics


Pull Me Under:

Lost in the sky

Clouds roll by

and I roll with them

Arrows fly

Seas increase

and then fall again

This world is spinning around me

This world is spinning without me

Every day send future to past

Every breath leaves me one less

to my last

Watch the sparrow falling

Gives new meaning to it all

If not today nor yet tomorrow

then some other day

I'll take seven lives for one

And then my only father's son

As sure as I did ever love him

I am not afraid

This world is spinning around me

The whole world keeps

spinning around me

All life is future to past

Every breath leaves me one less

to my last

Pull me under

Pull me under

Pull me under

I'm not afraid

All that I feel is honor and spite

All I can do is set it right

Dust fills my eyes

Clouds roll by

and I roll with them

Centuries cry

Orders fly

and I fall again

This world is spinning inside me

The whole world is

spinning inside of me

Every day sends future to past

Every step brings me closer

to my last

Pull me under

Pull me under

Pull me under

I'm not afraid

Living my life too much in

the sun

Only until your will is done

Metropolis:

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

Eleuding 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 my 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
