The Edge, Part 3... (Existence Chapter 1,000,009) Lyrics

Album: The Edge

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
