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. And 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. And 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 to 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. And every day send future to past, every breath brings me one less 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. 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 to set it right. 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.

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 would 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. Love is the dance of eternity!
