Edge Of Thorns
An offering of reasons We put them all away A covering of treasons That one by one we let slip away A solitary dancer So lost upon her stage I have seen you on the edge of dawn Felt you there before you were born Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns But I don't think about you anymore A study made of winter Of summers long ago And dreams that use to glitter Safely now hidden under snow And so we end this chapter And let the stage lights fade I have seen you on the edge of dawn Felt you there before you were born Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns But I don't think about you anymore I have seen you on the edge of dawn Felt you there before you were born Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns But I don't think about you anymore I don't think about you anymore, anymore I don't think about you I don't think about you I don't think about you I don't think about you anymore...

Among the images of dear departed Here with memories so closely guarded There's an old man standing all alone As he waits among the unforgiven Here among the souls no longer living Lost in chains of sin still unatoned He carves his stone!, oh yeah He carves his stone Well a man's got to do what a man must do But I'll never give my soul to you No fallen angel's prophecy Will ever take hold of the man you see, oh So here I stand all alone With chisel in hand I work my stone And leave a message for all to see I've lived a life of insanity And carve that stone He carves his stone! He carves his stone... He carves his stone! He carves his stone... And on that final night You know I dream of you And in a flash of light I carved that stone right through!, yeah I carved that stone right through!, yeah

Summer was the season When he took a ride Women were the reason And they say whiskey was the slide Living on the action Till it took him down Crawled into his bottle Oh... and let us watch him drown In Skraggy's tomb Yeah, Skraggy's tomb Sometimes in the evening Before the moon goes down Before the dark is leaving I could swear Swear I see him Hanging round So I watch the shadows And I stop and think And wade into the shallows And I have another drink From Skraggy's tomb Welcome to He was a loaded man going down, yeah Always out there screaming at the moon And every night he'd load another round From Skraggy's tomb There are certain things you can't explain We all have our attractions But then that boy... he was insane Skraggy made his life Made his life a crime of passion Life a crime of passion In Skraggy's tomb i'm talkin' bout Skraggy's tomb From Skraggy's tomb

And so I sit here in the dark You made the rules I played the part I never rushed or pushed my fate When time was tight I knew to wait And circumstance so well disguised Within a gathering of lies And in the dark I lie awake So I can watch you drive your stake What's that you said to me? The moment dies Degrees of sanity All alone, lost unknown And whispered in your sights And in the dark it all unwinds I pray for change, the kiss of time And in my thoughts I sit and dwell The labyrinth's there, I know it well What's that you said to me? The moment dies Degrees of sanity All alone, lost unknown And whispered in your sights And all the things you never heard While in my mind I search for words But time was lost, the curtain fell I take my bows and wish you well What's that you said to me? The moment dies Degrees of sanity All alone, lost unknown And whispered in your sights

I haven't thought about you for awhile It seemed so far away I keep your picture hidden in a file Of favorite one act plays Like pieces of myself Cut off in desperation As offerings to thee I keep them on a shelf They're good for conversation Over a cup of tea, yeah, cup of tea I put it all down in a letter once A letter I don't send It made me feel much better at the time I thought it'd help me mend The pieces of myself Cut off in desperation As offerings to thee, yeah I keep them on a shelf They're good for conversation Over a cup of tea, yeah, cup of tea

Someone... ...Got themselves a letter In the mail the other day It's already worn and tattered And I guess it gives away All the things we keep inside All the things that really matter The face puts on its best disguise And all is well until the heart... ...Betrays She knows... ...As she reads the letter That things were bound to stray Winds blow, she pulls her coat tighter And the letter flies away With all the things she keeps inside All the things that really matter The face puts on its best disguise And all is well until the heart... ...Betrays Lord, bring on the night Wrap it all around me Let it hold me tight Soak up all that I bleed Lord, bring on the night Wrap it all around me Let it hold me tight Soak up all that I bleed And I'll fly away Yeah, I'll fly away Lord, I'll fly away Watch me... Lord bring on the night Wrap it all around me Let it hold me tight Soak up all that I bleed ...I bleed...

In this city of raw emotion What's this message you bring to me In my world of blind devotion You were there, but I could never see Damien Is your heart harder? What's inside your head? Is the dark your father? Have all your years been bled? From my world I have watched and wondered Safely here behind these walls And your tears could they mean nothing If from this distance no one sees them fall Damien Is your heart harder? What's inside your head? Is the dark your father? Have all your years been bled? Sometimes late at night When I'm there in bed I lie there wondering Where do you lay your head? And do you say your prayers anymore? And do you say your prayers? Damien Is your heart harder? Do you still feel pain? Does the night go farther When you're sleeping in the rain? In the dark I have heard a calling Broken wings that beg to fly Is there time or is it too late? Is the cut flower no longer alive? Damien Is your heart harder? Do you still feel pain? Does the night go farther When you're sleeping in the rain? Damien, Damien, yeah, Damien, oh, Damien

And a cool, cool rain comes down On a world burned by the sun And the moon arises like a child And the moment is undone And the stars never say what they see As the moon flirts with shadows it makes Through the fallen trees Some would wait for the morning light But I fall asleep 'til I'm safe In the arms of night Yeah! Let the darkness roll in Let it wipe the light away In the distance always calling Morpheus, he beckons play Still the morning is preordained But I believe light is the source of all our pain It reveals the smallest sin But dark covers all and will always take you Armed and gunning I'll be running Always just before the day In the distance Day is dawning But I'm already miles away, miles away, yeah In the night there's wonder Always there for you to see In the light of morning Visions fade and dreams can flee With the darkness the night forgives Covers our scars and lets The lost souls live And the morning's a distant fear But if we move fast they'll never find us Armed and gunning I'll be running Through a world that's in decay Let them thunder Stare and wonder Cause I'm already miles away, miles away, yeah Oh, miles away I've been running Armed and gunning Always just before the day In the distance Day is dawning But I'm already miles away Miles away, yeah Miles, miles away Miles away, yeah Miles, miles away, oh yeah Away, away, away And the rain comes down

Hey there you Way out there in the distance Can you hear me? Are you there? I know it's late So please forgive my persistence But I'm hanging Do you care? So lay back, call off the attack Cause if you look deep, dreams are nothing that I lack And all I seek, a final chance to speak And I would let the whole thing keep if I could just sleep Hey there you Way out there could you show me Just a signal... or a sign? That after all All these years that you know me And I'm not just... killing time So lay back, call off the attack Cause if you look deep, dreams are nothing that I lack And all I seek, a final chance to speak And I would let the whole thing keep if I could just sleep And as I lay there at night Building castles in the air Out of alibis and all those little lies And then I look inside And pray that I don't care ...I don't care... Hey there you Way out there in the distance
