The Edge of Forever - Symphony X

Pictures of what used to be,

lie in pieces on the floor

finds himself in an empty room,

her voice calls out to him

he opens the door, but there’s no one there

no one there…

Draped in a silken glow of moonlight

through the mist I see, a lucid cathedral appears to me.

pray for a glimpse of touch of sunlight

chain our shadow down, night settles in, my love,

you never make a sound.

Love is flowing from my fingertips

never in control of this domain.

All around me, my essence lay

watch the vultures circle through the pouring rain.

Close your eyes — and try to remember

discordant lullabies of days gone by.

Close your eyes — on the edge of forever

a chance to dream, fast asleep your nightmare ends.

As the walls converge around me.

castles crumbling down, everything is not

as it seems to be.

Once more, I fells I must return

no more will my soul burn.

Dawn breaks the ground,

my love,

and with it you fade away…

Close your eyes — and try to remember

discordant lullabies of days gone by.

Close your eyes — on the edge of forever

a chance to dream, fast asleep your nightmare ends.

Close your eyes — and try to remember

discordant lullabies of days gone by.

Close your eyes — on the edge of forever

a chance to dream, fast asleep your nightmare ends.

My love never dies…
