On the Edge - EP

by Cross the Divide

/
1.
There’s a whisper on the starlight A chilling breath that’s running up your spine Heaven’s door is cracking open The time is coming for us to say goodbye We’re on the edge of something greater You can jump or fade into the night If you want to see the morning Take a chance and jump with us tonight There’s a ripple in the stillness Like the somber calm before a storm It’s the tension in the quiet And the beckoning from evermore Countdown - ten seconds to midnight 'Cause it’s all coming down Countdown - time for you to decide ‘Cause it’s all coming down
2.
A thousand candles flicker as a breeze rolls in Like ice upon your skin Your very life is like the tongues that dim Strangled in the wind And as the wind picks up so does the night Stifling the lights The smoking wicks are all your eyes can find They’re clouding up your mind You’re running blind Will you let me be your light I will stay right by your side Forget the dark, I’ll put the spark back in your eyes Shed your doubt I will never let you down When your last remaining light goes out A candle left to melt leaves you at your wick’s end Lost without a friend Your lonely silhouette won’t circumvent The way the shadows bend And with the pooling wax that drowns the flame Your hope begins to fade And every single cell in your body Is screaming for the day Don’t drift away
3.
Drive your roots deep As the mightiest tree While you’re young Rains will come; you won’t be Washed away as you drink The waters of the hurricane Be rooted as the evergreen Just stand your ground Your innocence is all you need Be patient, my son, now Take in the shade As you grow watch and wait Soon you’ll face The power of the blazing sun Be the Tree
4.
At times I wonder why a heart can break The pressure feels like more than I can take But no matter how intense the pain You remain My towers crumble but they stay contained The cracks have turned to lines upon my face But I draw solace as your voice refrains That titanium is forged in flame So Ignite this Wreck Burn me down, burn me down ‘til there’s Nothing Left But the lingering scent of ashen memory Light this Wreck I’m not giving up; not giving in Ignite this Wreck Cause I won’t be free ‘til the flames consume me My twisted metal is all bent and strained It seems the damage is all I have gained But through it all my strength has been sustained As this titanium is forged in flame Like a phoenix I will rise From the ashes to the sky The firelight that purifies Will burn me into life
5.
In the city of stone are a thousand homes But everyone's alone and every heart is cold The ghosts of yesterday stare you in the face Haunt you with your pain and taunt you with your fate You have nothing left You call to mountains “Bury me; May the crushing darkness swallow me Only a tomb can set me free inside” You call to mountains “Bury us; May the cliff sides break and fall on us” You say the pain is just too much this time Can’t make it right You've tried to climb the walls but you slip and fall Giving it your all just brings you to a crawl (When) it’s so wrong, for so long Just hold on, when everything inside you screams Why call to mountains “Bury me” When you can tell them “Fall into the sea” The empty tomb can set you free inside Why say to mountains “Bury us” We know the Cornerstone can cover us This very blood was shed for you in time To make it right
