On the razors edge Swirling winds and shadows Dark and ever lengthening A choice must be made Divergence Between the hammer and the anvil Damnation and reprisal Moral ambiguity On the razors edge No clear path forward The way behind thorned and Shrouded in prophecies of The discarded remnants of the earth Create. Destroy. Construct. Destruct Slip away like a whisper in the wind Drifting, moving, never returning Shadow, specter, unseen wanderer Rootless, dislodged, adrift all alone Solitary existence, forced isolation Disconnected from the tethers to reality Slipping closer to madness Coming closer to the end The path of bleak reality Could I? Should I? Would I? Create. Destroy. Forsake. Forge ahead. Into the uncertainty Leave behind the familiar Embrace the chaos and agony The path, unknown Somnambulant Devoid of dreams On the razors edge Tempests black and churning Tribulations abound Choices were made Sacrifice Become the hammer and the anvil Creation, preparation Moral lucidity Off the ledge Moving only forward The way ahead thorned and Shrouded in mysteries of the things we leave behind
