lyrics

I stand on the edge afraid to make a step…
I stand on the edge of eternity…

Eternity follows…

Will it pay off? Will it punish me?
Or is it all in vain?

I feel you…

Where are you? Can you listen?
…can you speak?

Inside the light of remembrance
Life seems a long distant dream
Sins lay their weight on the spirit
…and the struggle begins…

It’s all coming back in seconds of clarity
Dead eyes staring the absolute nothing
Spine chilling cold by a frozen caress
But the question remains

If the dead could speak
What would they say? What would they do?
Would they curse the sun and bless their ways?
If the dead could speak
Inside our minds, inside our souls
Would they reconsider or decline?

Trapped into the endless space
Nothing really matters now
All you ever stood and fought for
Was it worth the wait?


Inside the night of repentance
Life seems a vast mystery
Whispering thoughts fall silent
…and the voice dissolves…

It’s all coming back in seconds of clarity
Dead eyes staring the absolute nothing
Spine chilling cold by a frozen caress
But the question remains

If the dead could speak
What would they say? What would they do?
Would they curse the sun and bless their ways?
If the dead could speak
Inside our minds, inside our souls
Would they reconsider or decline?

An eternity to wonder
Was it really worth this pain?
All you lost and all you hoped for
Was it worth?
