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)
