Edge of Forever

Reaching out from beyond the dark
Through the nothingness that came before
Limitless on this cosmic arc
The universe itself starts to explore
In a world beyond the sun (Where the moon is yet to rise)
Long before the hands of time
(Waking) Harness the light of a thousand stars
(Shaping) Futures collide and here we are
Ages pass, a light in the dark
Now the tapestry of life to come
Self aware, self ashamed we decay
We realise it all comes crashing down
In a world around the sun (Where the moon can finally rise)
So begin the hands of time
In the crucible of life (Endless energy awakes)
Long before both you and I
(Waking) Harness the light of a thousand stars
(Shaping) Futures collide and here we are
On the edge of forever we may never find ourselves again
Take my hand, I’ll be waiting on the other side (’Til the end of time)
Foretelling the hurt
Suffer the consequence
The more we know
The less it all makes sense
Harness the light of a thousand stars
(Shaping) Futures collide and here we are
On the edge of forever we may never find ourselves again
Take my hand, I’ll be waiting on the other side
You are not alone
Tell me where I need to go (Take my hand I’ll lead you)
Tell me all I need to know (Take my words I’ll teach you)
We are not alone

The Storm

Drown
Cast from heaven to the earth we now descend
Fragile bodies hide the tempest that stirs within
Ever-longing for a fleeting glimpse of hope
Can we trust it when fear is all we know
In our darkness we forge a heavy crown
Do we have the strength to hold it
Or will we drown
Clouds will gather in your weary mind
When the rain comes will you run, will you hide
From within us the thunder and lightning are born
Will you conquer the storm inside
Looming shadows hang upon my furrowed brow
Full of questions with no answers
How did it come to this, a waking tragedy
Where birth is merely the beginning of the end
Through our darkness we all must wander blind
As we find our way through space and time
Clouds will gather in your weary mind
When the rain comes will you run, will you hide
From within us the thunder and lightning are born
Make your peace with the storm
Clouds will gather in your weary mind
When the rain comes will you run, will you hide
From within us the thunder and lightning are born
Find your peace in the eye
Peace in the of the storm

Within the Fire

(Burn) Every day we’re tempered by the forge of life
Chaos reigns, yet we are hardened by our strife
Now a torch that sets the evening sky ablaze
I see clearly the path before me
Amidst the turmoil that rages all around
Never take a backward step, we stand our ground
Despite the demons always clawing at our doors
We will overcome them all
Embers rising from the silence
Raise your voices
Words in anger can unite us
Light a fire within our soul
Within the fire we find our strength
May the shadows we leave
Be cast from the light we inspire
Like stars in each other’s eyes
Embers rise from the silence
Raise your voices
Words in anger can unite us
Light a fire within our soul
Ignite

I walked through the valley of time
My life, she stood by my side
I hoped to never leave her behind
But when I looked back she was gone
Long now have I clung to a hope
That I’ll someday return to that place
Warm arms for a heart growing cold
And a voice to remember my name
In the tales of my youth I would marvel in awe
As a hero would conquer the day
The dark would dispel as they battle through hell
And their light would show them the way
In my journey of life no hero am I
I will falter and fail every day
When the dark overcomes me, and I stand ashamed
Still a hero to her I remain
In the times of my sorrow I am not alone
And her heart will guide me home
If I fall on my knees she finds courage in me
This is love and I have to believe
At the end of my days when I lay my head down
As the light and my hair start to fade
With a smile in my eyes looking back I can say
In my hope I was never afraid

Horizon

The whisper of evening’s chill
On a vast and endless plain
Fading shades of sunset brush the amber sky
The air grows still
With the bated breath of twilight
Distant hills once more entomb the sun
Alone I gaze upon the boundless splendour before me
As evening stars light up the sky
I yearn for the fading light
The sweet embrace of night
Once again I search in vain
Wandering through the silence
Neither waking nor asleep
A fleeting glimpse
An image of cold perfection
Now just a vision engrained upon my mind
A companion and a memory for all time
Chase another horizon
Reaching for the moon
Where the sky and the sea collide
I will be there
Though the heavens may lose their light
And you might lose your way
Just close your eyes and I will be there
Some will travel for a lifetime just to know
Far beyond the starlight we are not alone
Chase another horizon
Reaching for the moon
Where the sky and the sea collide
I will be there
Though the heavens may lose their light
And you might lose your way
Just close your eyes
Just close your eyes
And I will be there

The World Between
05:10

|
In every moment we write our eulogies
The scribes of our own fate, paint the canvas of our memories
Each breath a chapter in the saga of our lives
Always uncertain if we’ve reached the final line
We cling to hope but never know (Will you remember me)
We’ll break before we let it go (Never let me go)
Every day, another chance that we must take
A refuge where thought can hide away
We never die if we live in the hearts and minds we’ve touched
But in the end we pray that it’s enough
If eternity is a glimmer
That reflects the light we’ve seen
We can stay awhile here and linger
To transcend the world between
We all live on in memory
If eternity is a glimmer
That reflects the light we’ve seen
We can stay awhile here and linger
To transcend the world between
If eternity is a glimmer
That exists in you and me
We can stay awhile here and linger
And become the world between

Carried away by the call of the tide
A vagabond heart with a wandering mind
Restless again with the comforts of home
Forgiven, as always, for longing to roam
A tearful farewell as you journey away
Smile through the pain of a lonely day
I wait for the waves to return you to me
Or bury you deep in the heart of the sea
Still I find myself longing
For a sight I’m yet to see
Over far horizons
There’s a world that waits for me
Hesitating for a time I might regret
A sense of home I hope never to forget
Haunting shadows swirling, dancing beneath
Phantom visions that lurk beyond our reach
I am the wind that greets the tide
I am the storm within your mind
I am the final air you breathe
I am the fading light you see
Under the tempest and the foam
Never again to be alone
When you return once more to me
Giving your heart unto the sea
Ages passing the heavens now against us
Hurtling faster into the unknown
Waves erupting on the shorelines of forever
As we realise we’re not going home
I regret my dear, a parting promise that I must break
When you close your eyes, no tears of sorrow can ever escape
Hold onto me - don't be afraid
I’ll keep you warm - I’ll keep you safe
Hold onto me - don’t be afraid
I’m not going away
Hold onto me - don't be afraid
I’ll keep you warm - I’ll keep you safe
I won’t let you fade away
Hold onto me - don't be afraid
I’ll keep you warm - I’ll keep you safe
Hold onto me - don’t be afraid
I’m not going away
Hold onto me - don't be afraid
I’ll keep you warm - I’ll keep you safe
In my heart you’ll stay
Tell me where I need to go
Take my hand I’ll reach you
Tell me all I need to know
Take my words I’ll teach you
Tell me where I need to go
Take my hand I’ll reach you
Tell me all I need to know
I’ll be there too

A Walk Among the Stars
05:40
|
|||
|
Just one step across the edge
As I try to keep myself from falling
Close your eyes take a leap of faith
When you hear the sigh of darkness calling
We open our eyes
Embracing the light
We marvel in splendour
Like so many before
Then we look to the sky
As we search for a meaning
Through the eyes of a child
Full of wonder and awe
How quickly a mind can turn from joy to twelve shades of sorrow
We flicker and fade like a fleeting morning mist
We search for answers unknown on time we all have to borrow
When we reach the end, did we even exist
We all share a fear of dying
It’s a long and lonely road
We can spend our best years finding
And still not know which way to go
Faithful hearts say a prayer for peace
And a skeptic mind will say; we’re not going far
All I hope for is a sense of calm
And to someday walk among the stars
Beyond the stars
Death come greet me I am not afraid
I welcome him in like a friend
Not saying tomorrow or even today, but all things come to an end
My mind tries to grapple with the infinite beyond
As I sink myself into the silence
The air leaves my lungs, my words leave my tongue and my heart escapes all
thoughts of violence
And in my darkest hour as I fall alone
You hold my hand and guide me home
