The Edge... (Introduction) Lyrics

Album: 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...
