Here in the land of make believe
There comes a point of no return
When metal birds hang motionless and threatening in northern skies
The sun does not reach so deep
Where hearts and time cease to beat
There's nowhere you can run or hide
You know it won't be long now.

I'm your possession
Metropolis my cruel obsession
Metropolis the shape of things to come
Metropolis the shape of things to come

Cities fall while people crawl
And those who suffer say "no more"
What's not imagined will be done
The warning signs you can't ignore
Helpless we all live in fear
No need to wait tomorrow's here
No time for love, no time for hate
Nothing matters, it's too late

Metropolis
I'm your possession
Metropolis my cruel obsession
Metropolis the shape of things to come
