The Edge

We'd like to take you to a place so far from here- A lesson in lost and shattered men- Welcome to the story of their solemn fears- Spare all the innocence you can- Here in this world of lost misery- A bit of faith isn't that what you said- Sometimes they face endless futility- All of them have lived on the edge- (Chorus) Here we stand...........It's a long way down Lives in hand............Can you see the end Ours to take..............Find a reason Ours to waste............Before you make the call All Alone.................It's a long way home Free to go.................Are you really free Revenge is sweet......Sickeningly so Best served cold.......What are you thinking Are you saying that all you had means nothing? If that's your sight now then you will be here forever... (Verse II) The sting of hatred is all too real to you- A face in time is all you know- A world shut out unable to rescue you- A final plea begging for your soul- As you leave to carry out your final masquerade- It becomes so clear this darkness in your head- A pawn in the game of humanity- Another lost soul crying from the edge- (Chorus) Where is home............It's a long way down Where is me................On the edge of life Reflections of..............I'll take the time Broken dreams............To help you understand Lost in time.................It's a long way home No place here..............It's the life you lead May be hope................I'll take the time I don't care...................Forgive yourself If your convinced that all in life means nothing, Then I can't help you, you have reached the edge...

Was like I walked inside your mind- A darkened place with no windows- Was like through you I saw me... A gaping hole inside- The words never come out right- We must leave this room, take my hand...and (CHORUS) Come fly away - at last forever All this can wait - all those times we appeared holding out our hands All you'll know and all you'll see Is wrapped within a mirror - see our souls all our fears far away from here (VERSE II) And the shadows fading- The mysteries upon the wall- Are there any angels anywhere... I hear the cries all the time Baptized, by fire, in the holy light... (CHORUS II) Come fly away - at last forever Heaven can wait - all those times we appeared holding out our hands All you'll know and all you'll see Is wrapped within a mirror - see our souls all our fears far away from here (MIDDLE) We can be healed.....And We can be sacrificed I know (1/2 CHORUS) Come fly away - at last forever Heaven can wait - all those times we appeared holding out our hands (LEAD) (VERSE III) Do I hear you laughing now- Is that a sword I see- This saga has an ending after all... Endless halls.....It's so hard to see the answers Burning dreams.....A life, for me, you are falling (CHORUS III) Come fly away - at last forever All this can wait - all those times we appeared holding out our hands All you'll know and all you'll see Is wrapped within a mirror - see our souls all our fears far away from here Come fly away - at last forever All this can wait - all those times we appeared holding out our hands All you'll know and all you'll see Is wrapped within a mirror - see our souls all our fears far away from here

Is this what you are Is this what you have become Reflections of your demise All the things - made for kings You'll find them here The people too - they'll bleed for you You've made that clear Look one time at your reflection A broken looking glass what you've become We all wonder what's in the conscience of the king Does he think of the dead or the heroes gone Has he a life does he think of everything Is he hurt by the world, does he live on the edge Placate the sinners Vanity is all around you Blood leaves stains for life All the men - They can't defend your stratosphere Suddenly - out from the calm You feel the fear Another glance at your reflection The looking glass will now look back at you Sire do you know what it is to be alone Can you ever be yourself, is it hard to be What is heaven like, what's it like to live your life Is it everything it's all made out to be Sovereign we're alive and we're here to save your life Tell us what to do here your majesty Should we wield the sword, should we fight for you my lord What's the matter paramount can't you speak We all wonder what's in the conscience of the king Does he ever think of us does he hear our song Regal do you know what it is to be alone We will always pray for you in your kingdom on the edge

I walk alone - endless seas of souls around me His face it told - of the mad existence of a silent story And just how they took him, they tore a free soul down... didn't leave a trace And how he sat and faced it - didn't make a sound... I watched in silence as Tears fell like rain The world went insane around him All those times I wondered where we were going then Out here it never changed Unlock these chains that bind me Oh the world why is it so hard to understand She looks out - from high above the dark and cold streets There in her room - She waits in riches for something to happen Money can't heal her, the hole she feels inside... one step closer Staring into God's eyes she says her last goodbyes... then she jumps to the cure as Tears fell like rain Eyes filled with sadness I see A world in struggle for its very soul And the preachers they all pray Looking for some salvation I can't see how we made it through yesterday Tears fall like rain Those childlike hopes of being happy Seem overshadowed by a distant cry Salvation never came To those of us who saw the story We must always close our eyes and look the other way Passive pretense, killing license, witnesses sworn to silence Was it meant to be this way Losing, falling, Satan's calling, threatening your one and only Drowning in your own sorrow wasting away' All my fears they are calling And this lonely life, I'm condemned to live It can be your home forever Losing patience, warring nations, drug infested correlation Is it the life you feel Victim's silence, caring violence, doctor assisted suicide and here you Are sitting wasting away All my fears they are calling And this world upon my screen It will be my home forever They speak again, one last time he spoke the words I'll be there - just close your eyes, remember always Then there was a silence Where the dream went here... it was over them Another love gone - Another heart to heal Hold yours forever and... Tears fall like rain Worlds apart they sit and wonder How things could get so wrong when they were fine This world it seems insane All these dreams are left behind them Does it matter where or why anyway It will be okay Things will be all right tomorrow After all we made it through yesterday

It's time again Fate demands that I think again, about my life and how it feels to be all alone And the wizard of my mind, oracle of all that's mine Comes from deep inside In a closet size world of golden stories This is, this is my imaginarium This is, this is the heart that pumps the golden blood Where to? I don't know! This is, this is my imaginarium This is, this is the vent of hate pain and love Stay awhile? I don't know! Come in - step inside my son Do you - see all that you could have been Do you - fear what you see my friend Do you - have the heart to return again? Do you? Come in - step inside my son Can you imagine staring at unreality, immortality? Breaking away from all that used to be And it's not even a dream, or like anything that I've ever seen You just close your eyes and the world is in your mind It's a scary place to be Here it comes, here it comes, here it comes! This is, this is my imaginarium This is, this is the place where all the dreamers come Stay here? I don't know! This is, this is my imaginarium This is, this is a world of death fear and love Stay with me? I don't know! This is, this is my imaginarium This is, this is the place where all can be one This is, this is my imaginarium This is, this is the vent of hate pain and love Come here! I don't know! Come in - step inside my son Do you - see all that you could have been Do you - fear what you see my friend Do you - have the heart to return again? Do you? Come in - step inside my son I'm back again And what I've seen and done brings me down when I realize where I've been Now that I've lived my fantasy, life is no longer good enough to me It's a scary place to be

Imagine this scene of a world far away And we are completely unobtrusive A victim of man, with hope in his hands, reaching for the stars A feeling gone Fate has another life to take And here in a place of wonders Never really all alone Happy just to be a number Somewhere in our world on the edge It's like I've heard a thousand times before By the ones who always chose to ignore me then Play all the games and fear all the laws That's what gives the people their meaning, they say And here in a lifeless wonder Creating endless legacies Everyone pull out their numbers Wait in line on the back of the edge I wake up every morning, watch the news on TV I'm numb to all the lies everyone believes I do the same things other numbers do See the same old faces and there you are again Fate has another life to take And fear has another soul to break And here in my world of numbers Embracing long gone memories Waiting to be sucked under Sitting silently on the edge See I've never been much one to complain I looked into the mirror and there I was again Same old faces I've always seen before Like a million stranded others, I don't know him anymore And here in a world of thunder Striving only to believe Remaining silent for no longer Screaming from my mountain on the edge

Through rose colored lies... Calling you names from my social island Why can't I, be happy again It's the way things are and I can't change'them It's the way, there is no cure A lust we can't control, it's a rather sick position dont'cha think? In a talk, that I had, with a man who was mad... It was here it was there, couldn't find it anywhere It was up, it was down, squares rolling round and round It was crowded it was lonely, a show written only for me Had this sick and happy feeling' I was home again It was old it was new, too many and too few It was numbing it was high and I was laughing the whole time It was cold it was warm, it was clear but I saw the storm Had a clear distorted feeling, I'd be back again Call me what you will Satisfy yourself Justify your position Money it's a problem It's so much more I can suppress this hole if I try It's the way, there is no cure A lust we can't control, it's a rather sick position dont'cha think? In a nightmare that I had, with a sick demented man Had no fear and no love, no faith in God above It was truth it was lies, the searing burning kind It was random it was fate, too soon and too late Had this wild mixed up feeling, I was back again It was death it was life, a victim's last rights It was playful it was hurtful and I loved it the whole time It was there in my head, a lusting for the dead Had this sick and happy feeling, I was home again This is the slow part Where the man always finds his way A sad reflection, a resolution So safe where you are, listening to your own surroundings Where are you now Do you have me while you're driving Maybe you're at home, perhaps in position compromising Then there's the 5 bastards, playing this song right now Cashing in on my plight And who the fuck are they, do they have the nightmares you and I do All right it's okay, let them whore me and they'll get their due And how 'bout you, you bought this song now just listen No matter what you think of me, I'm the soul who'll be behind you one day Tearing your life into little pieces Hey I'm jealous of you, I can say that now but there's so much more to tell I have the resolution, the quick question to your problem It's a rather sick position dont'cha think? And the love that I have, with this crazy sick old friend It was dark it was bright, a cold and stormy night It was real it wasn't there, I couldn't help but stare It had started it was over, looking over shoulders Had intense and lovely feelings, I was home again It was here it was there, couldn't find it anywhere It was up it was down, squares rolling round and round It was crowded it was lonely, a play written only for me Had this sick and happy feeling, I was home again

Those times When there was something inside Something to fight for, something in you But I don't care... anymore I've wasted too much time already I can't take anymore of your manipulation I can feel my patience breaking You wanted me to come down with you, well here I am! You said somewhere that I oughta know You weren't gonna let me forget the pain I left you in I can see your promise breaking Isn't it ironic, you oughta know There isn't anything left in me That your sick repulsive ways haven't taken away Stop your suicidal faking Oh, you're so persecuted You oughta know You oughta know You oughta know

What have the prophets done, to gain the path we see The grayness that I see above it always follows me And the fruits of this life, they take on many forms As the fire in hell's cauldron, the image it always burns And in the books, see the pages, read between the lines It's been shadowed with disillusionment, just take back what you find Let's hide away to the distant hills never question why When we were conceived to this we were baptized by fire No, it's a lie and it's not mine It's a tragedy a mystery, that we must find It's a call, to war, it's a shameless whore It's a fantasy a mystery, it's all you wanted here And I know that, I can be sure of, a quiet walk with you Scenes of distance, sounds of calling, my hideaway is you Dreams are slower, the day is longer, and I can face it too Take me hold me, no one can hurt me, all because of you Sold it's a fake, it's a give and take It's a mystery, infinity, it's a world too late It's a kind, of fear, and it's all right here Don't know the way I feel today Though it feels I'm way ahead this time It seems far too good to be true I know' I know And I know that, there is a savior, when the day is through A passive knowing, faithful wanting, a world I know as you And fate is a walk I fear to take it's true' I know I sometimes feel I'll never make it through I know' I know Like a child, born to survive all, basking time with you Spending hours, on ivory towers, could this all be true Hate, it's a fire, it's a bold faced lie It's a fallacy, insanity, the disease inside It's a walk, through tears, for all those years It's misery your history and it's all right here The end, it's a race, in the life you faced It's a parody, hypocrisy, it's your one last taste And death, for real, yeah it makes no deals It's a tragedy, reality, no one wants to hear I know that, I can be sure of, quiet nights with you A face of knowing, and understanding, one I know as you In the distance, I see existence, I know you see it too You're all I dream of, you're all I think of, I know I just love you No, it's gone, life's not that long It's senility, a rhapsody, it's all that's wrong And here, you stand, all alone again It's misery, insanity, you can't defend Now you're dead, it's a kick in the head It's a tragedy, a mystery, that's what you said But if you can take the bounty, I will grab the soul Then we'll run away together

Hello lord I'm here again It's like I feared and then some more... it's gone away Cradle the calm and calm the weary I must put this all behind me It's like you said before, here in silent dreams Understand the way I see it It seems like the world can't feel it I know they don't need to lord, no one takes pity on what they don't know Here in a world of fate The answers they come too late for me The fire streaks the bloodstained sky Drain the oceans and turn out the sun Silence the laughter I have no need for them, anymore It's all been a dream from this day on Holding the torch and torching the theory Reaching for something to save me Nothing I have known, can save my soul tonight I find that I'm all alone Same as I've ever known A voice from the edge, screaming something Something from a fantasy Screaming the final plea The echoes they remain We'd like to take you to a place so far from here A world of lost and shattered men We've seen the world of their solemn fears Spare all the pity that you can Because we all walk on the edge sometimes Holding on for our very lives Only the ones who ever risk are truly free Only ones who risk ever fly Now we see - it's a long way down We believe - is there an end Ours to stay - find a reason Ours to leave - before you turn away All alone - it's a long way home Free to go - I'm really free Time to see - I can see the end Time to know - I can make it through Where am I have I really made it here?
