The Edge of the World
I Prelude
II Wretched Abyss
It's a cold one
On Main street tonight
Under this pale moonlight
I walk in the bar
Drunken cheers drown my sigh
And I wonder why...
I'm here again tonight
With this classless, pointless, mindless, low-life society
Just when I thought I knew what I wanted
I am drawn here almost constantly
Save me from this
Wretched abyss
I don't want to fall anymore
Have I lost touch?
Is this life my crutch?
I want to walk once more
Season of change
Will come soon, I hope
I can't untie this rope
Pendulum froze
Time has gone amiss
It's never been like this
How'd I lose so much time?
Have I lost my mind, am I completely senseless now?
My hands are tied, can't move
I can't seem to stop myself from falling down somehow
Save me from this
Wretched abyss
I don't want to fall anymore
Have I lost touch?
Is this life my crutch?
I want to walk once more
Save me...save me!
Time, time, love, love
III The Sea Is Calling
Seven days
And I've yet to rise again
Several ways
I have tried to see the end
But it stays
And I'm forced to use my pen
In a daze
I write words hoping they mend
I have become completely
Lost in my thoughts, furiously
Trying to find safe journey
To regain my sanity
Somehow it seems that I should leave
My heart tells me this is the only cure
Need a crew
To come 'board this boat with me
But how to
Convince them to come to sea
It is true
Love makes prey of the lonely
They will do
Anything for love to be
I will find men at the bar
Lone, desperate, there they are
Lonely is their deepest scar
Promise them love, they'll go far
Somehow it seems that I should leave
My heart tells me this is the only cure
It is time to go now
The sea is calling
Time to go find love at
The Edge of the World
IV Setting Sail
V Hope and Sorrow
This boat is sinking
Closer to the floor
Of the deepest sea
We've sailed awhile now
Hourglass is broken
Time's a mystery
All the while the tide would call our name
Bringing hope and sorrow all the same
So we set sail, guided by the waves
Love will find us at the edge of the world
The months they pass by
Crew grows vulnerable
Drawn to the deep six
Our hopes have vanished
Dreams lost in the sand
This boat cannot be fixed
All the while the tide still called our name
WIth false hope and sorrow just the same
When we set sail, promises were made
Love was absent at the edge of the world
VI A Sailor's Farewell
Time, If only there was more
Time, Is all I'm asking for
Love, I thought I'd find you here
Love, Your intentions are clear
Let me sink, let me die
Let me never see the sky
Let me scream, let me cry
Let me say goodbye
Let me sink, let me die
Let me never see the sky
Let me scream, let me cry
Let me say goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Let me say goodbye
