To the Edge

One brings shadow, one brings light Two-toned echoes tumbling through time Threescore wasted, ten cast aside Four-fold knowing, no end in sight One brings shadow, one brings light Two-toned echoes tumbling through time Threescore wasted, ten cast aside Four-fold knowing, no end in sight

All our splendour bathed black in silence Our surrender a sombre reverie

Slowly drifting down into twilight Left to sifting through faded memories

Know our places, for worth is wordless Evanescent, this writing on the wall

Brother stay this descent to madness Come and save us. Catch us before we fall

Riding home Riding home Finding hope Don't lose hope

Like broken angels, wingless, cast from heavens' gates (Our slumb'ring demons awake)

We only fly when falling, falling far from grace (Hell take us, heaven can wait)

Our lives a message in a bottle cast to sea (Disgrace untold and unseen)

Quick to their ends, our candles burn until we're free

In monochrome melodies Our tears are painted in red (Bleeding to the edge) Deep inside we're nothing more Than scions and sinners In the rain Do light and darkness fade

Yes, time circles endlessly The hands of fate trained ahead (Pointing to the edge) All things change, drawn to the flame To rise from the ashes To begin We first must see the end

One brings shadow, one brings light Two-toned echoes tumbling through time Threescore wasted, ten cast aside Four-fold knowing, no end in sight One brings shadow, one brings light Two-toned echoes tumbling through time Threescore wasted, ten cast aside Four-fold knowing, no end in sight

Rock of ages, we cast the first stone In our cages, we know not what we do

Indecision here at the crossroads Recognition, tomorrow's come too soon

Follow blindly like lambs to slaughter At the mercy of those who ply the sword

As our song wends dead underwater We're forgotten for now and evermore

Riding home Riding home Finding hope Don't lose hope

Without a compass wand'ring lost in lies of faith (Faith slowly wasting away)

Only alive in fighting Death's amber embrace (Our hearts beat loud, unafraid)

On Hands and knees we pray to gods we've never seen (Come shadow, come follow me)

The final hour upon us, no more time to breathe

In monochrome melodies Our tears are painted in red (Bleeding to the edge) Deep inside we're nothing more Than scions and sinners In the rain Do light and darkness fade

Yes, time circles endlessly The hands of fate trained ahead (Pointing to the edge) All things change, drawn to the flame To rise from the ashes To begin We first must see the end
