I'm standing on the edge, I'm standing on the edge I'm standing on the edge, I'm standing on the edge Feel the tension build Before the lightning strikes and thunder sounds Faint echoes call me down Whispering they call me down There's a place in my mind Where you can't sow your blight Where nothing flows on but the ether And the cares of the world become weightless And I always hear the call Let the world keep turning above me Voices broken in the dark As the storm is raging above me Let me hide away here on my own Hideaway paradise Feel the distance grow Between two hearts that lose touch in the crowd The storm is bearing down Whispered echoes call me down There's a place deep within Where you can't enter in A place that is mine, my own shelter Where the storm and the crowd become noiseless And I always feel the call Let the world keep turning above me Voices broken in the dark As the storm is raging above me Here you won't ever control Let the world keep turning above me Voices broken in the dark As the storm is raging above me Let me hide away here on my own I'm standing on the edge, I'm standing on the edge I'm standing on the edge, I'm standing on the edge Hideaway paradise Let the world keep turning above me Voices broken in the dark As the storm is raging above me Let me hide away here on my own Hideaway paradise Hideaway paradise
Looking behind, diverging roads I've wandered I can see turns unheeded Gazing through eyes within these dark reflections Facing a time long gone now It's the quiet of the night I fear The inner torrent that's unleashed Replaying me the thousand times I should have spoken other lines In the middle of the night I hear The dying dreams I never reached But I cannot travel back now Roads I've come down Reality is staring back at me Eternalized are words already spoken I can't erase or change now Hyperbolized these thoughts running unfettered I cannot tame or cage them It's the quiet of the night I fear The inner torrent that's unleashed Replaying me the thousand times I should have spoken other lines In the middle of the night I hear The dying dreams I never reached But I cannot travel back now Roads I've come down Reality is staring back at me The mirror of night it swallows me Must leave behind to be set free It's the quiet of the night I fear The inner torrent that's unleashed Replaying me the thousand times I should have spoken other lines It's the quiet of the night I fear The inner torrent that's unleashed Replaying me the thousand times I should have spoken other lines In the middle of the night I hear The dying dreams I never reached But I know these dark reflections Can change nothing Reality is staring back at me

You chose to walk the road less traveled Unchained but blamed for the stories we unraveled But where do we find the answers? How can we keep it safe Against our own will? No fear for the blind cause time is all we have We could escape now We could live forever Don't play with our tainted hearts Don't ask us where we're going The kingdom you've torn down I swear to you now, will be rebuilt larger Than the one you chose to destroy now We fight alone an unclear battle On holy grounds acclaimed but always shattered Where can we find the answers? How can we face defeat Against our own will? We can't get behind cause time is all we have We could escape now We could live forever Don't play with our tainted hearts Don't ask us where we're going The kingdom you've torn down I swear to you now, will be rebuilt larger Than the one you chose to destroy now We could escape now We could live forever Don't play with our tainted hearts Don't ask us where we're going The kingdom you've torn down I swear to you now, will be rebuilt larger Than the one you chose to destroy now

Frozen winter moonlight Fading pages cold Stars must fall to unbind Story's end untold It's the story of our time And the winter that settled over us In a book with loose pages Oh don't slip away I need you to stay forever mine I'm awaiting the sunrise To awaken my frozen heart for you But the dead of the night deepens the cold Frozen winter moonlight Fading pages cold Stars must fall to unbind Story's end untold It's a story of moonlight And the glimmer of ice that captured us With the daylight forsaken Please undo the chains We can't slowly fade into the night I'm awaiting the sunrise To awaken my frozen heart for you But the dead of the night deepens the cold Frozen dreams of the sunrise Can't awaken a warm side of the moon And the dead of the night deepens the cold Fading pictures on the wall Cannot warm us anymore I'm awaiting the sunrise To awaken my frozen heart for you But the dead of the night deepens the cold Frozen dreams of the sunrise Can't awaken a warm side of the moon And the dead of the night deepens the cold Frozen winter moonlight Fading pages cold Stars must fall to unbind Story's end untold

Grief of yesterday Wrapping me so tightly in the darkness Crowning me in flame Never drown The river running in the underworld It never drowns the queen of mourning Embracing pain of sorrow ill-deserved I know you will never understand it All the chaos of your dreams Cast it away to rule over the darkness Shadows to enslave Under your reign You want to get inside my head You want to see the queen of shadow Into the flood of dark you can't descend Never drown Bearing a light you're pushing through Setting the shadows loose Leave me to the undertide Never drown All the chaos of your dreams Cast it away to rule over the darkness Shadows to enslave Under your reign Never drown All the chaos of your dreams Cast it away to rule over the darkness Shadows to enslave Never to escape All the chaos of your dreams Cast it away to rule over the darkness Shadows to enslave Under your reign

Deceitful cries under the sun to crucify What have you done? I will not fight your shameful war Or spread more lies But I must stand my ground Invictus I remain You're heading towards your own destruction You're heading towards your own destruction But what is gained by a war of pride and greed? Debris of your failed siege What you're fighting for you've made a field Of embers and barbarity And what remains in the wake of enmity? Destruction six feet deep You can never take what I've achieved, never You'll be buried a nameless thief You mutineers you've made a scene Now face your empty new frontier justice You should have learned your end is near Do you feel it? You mutineers you've made a scene Now face your empty new frontier justice You should have learned your end is near Do you feel it burn? (You said) We are now the cruel collective faction Bow down or face destruction And what remains in the wake of enmity Destruction six feet deep You can never take what I've achieved, never You'll be buried a nameless thief You mutineers you've made a scene Now face your empty new frontier justice You should have learned your end is near Do you feel it burn? I'm gonna watch your fire burn your eyes I'm gonna stand in truth you can't deny You crowned a fool, now bear your shame I will not condescend to bow before your claim Not this time, this is your last goodbye Bearing the wounds you've given me Knowing they're worth the victory Holding, always standing my ground Losing your pride and dignity Screaming your rage and treachery Waging this war of misery now Invictus maneo Perge ad victoriam Undaunted, in the end I'll be standing no more sorrow I'm watching far below Soaring pride is your downfall Your cunning collective, fierce today but gone tomorrow

Watch out in your emotion Throw down all your stones Keep out far from Underland Don't fall down again Don't fall into madness Don't follow the black rabbit Don't go down that hole now Nothing can erase the fallout Down below devils pray And angels curse holy ways Upside down, inside out Nothing right or sane can be found You can rage, you can fight, storm the gates of hell By your anger you'll be swallowed Lose yourself in the fray of a red-lit haze And awaken shame and sorrow Can't hide from your damnation Your crimes are your own Black eyes watch from Underland To drag you down again Don't fall into madness Don't follow the black rabbit Don't go down that hole now Nothing can erase the fallout Down below devils pray And angels curse holy ways Upside down, inside out Nothing right or sane can be found You can rage, you can fight, storm the gates of hell By your anger you'll be swallowed Lose yourself in the fray of a red-lit haze And awaken shame and sorrow High toll, below For you will pay what you owe Shame and sorrow For you will reap what you sow Don't fall, don't fall down that hole again For you will break more than you can mend Rise up above the fell haze of red Laying that deadly nature to rest You can rage, you can fight, storm the gates of hell By your anger you'll be swallowed Lose yourself in the fray of a red-lit haze And awaken shame and sorrow

Searching the skies, wonder why So afraid I'll never know Wasting away here on the ground Longing to soar up to great heights The beast that preys upon me Casting my eyes down Within the stars Those spheres of light But who can find the second to the right? So far, my Neverland It's the quest and the curse of us all Hearts hunger for something more Frightened by ghosts of our own creation When we suffocate the aspirations that we scorn The monster hunting me down Will pull me under Within the stars Those spheres of light But who can find the second to the right? So far, my Neverland It's the quest and the curse of us all How can I find the second star to the right? I fear that I've forgotten how to fly I face my greatest enemy within Fear of falling my lullaby Within the stars Those spheres of light But who can find the second to the right? So far, my Neverland It's the quest and the curse of us all
