To the Edge

One brings shadow, one brings the light Two toned echoes, tumbling through time Three score wasted, ten cast aside Fourfold knowing, no end in sight One brings shadow, one brings the light Two toned echoes, tumbling through time Three score wasted, ten cast aside Fourfold knowing, no end in sight All our splendor bathed black in silence Our surrender, a somber reverie Slowly drifting down into twilight Left to sifting through fading 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 heaven's gates (Our slumbering demons awake) We only fly when falling, falling far from grace (Hell take us, heaven can wait) And like 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 the light) (Two toned echoes, tumbling through time) (Three score wasted, ten cast aside) (Fourfold knowing, no end in sight) (One brings shadow, one brings the light) (Two toned echoes, tumbling through time) (Three score wasted, ten cast aside) (Fourfold 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! (One brings shadow, one brings the light)
