Masayoshi Soken To The Edge
[Intro]
One brings shadow, one brings the light
Two toned echoes, tumbling through time
Three score wasted, ten cast aside
Fourfold knowing, no end in sight
[Verse 1]
I remember, in blackened silence
Our surrender, a somber reverie
Slowly drifting down into twilight
Ever sifting through fading memories
Now I'm thinking, "Well, was it worth it?"
As I led them, to fight another war
I resent this descent to madness
Come and save us, yet just before we fall
[Refrain]
Riding home - riding home
Finding hope - don't lose hope
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Like broken angels, wingless, cast from heaven's gates
(Our slumbering demons awake)
We won't get far when falling, falling far from grace
(You'll take off, spread out your wings)
And like a message in a bottle cast to sea
(Disgraced, untouched and unseen)
And to their ends our candles burn, until we're free
[Chorus]
In monochrome melodies, our tales are painted in red
(Bringing me to the edge)
Deep inside, we're nothing more than scions and sinners
In the rain, tonight our time is nigh!
Yes, time circles endlessly, the hands of fate train ahead
(Pointing to the edge)
All things change - drawn to the flame, to rise from the ashes
To begin, we first must see the end!
[Interlude]
One brings shadow, one brings the light
Two toned echoes, tumbling through time
Three score wasted, ten cast aside
Fourfold knowing, no end in sight
One brings shadow, one brings the light
Two toned echoes, tumbling through time
Three score wasted, ten cast aside
Fourfold knowing, no end in sight
[Verse 2]
Lost to vengeance, we cast the first stone
In our cages, we know not what we do
Indecision, here at the crossroads
Recognition, tomorrow's come too soon
All the bloodied, like lambs to slaughter
At the mercy of those who grab a sword
As the star went, hid underwater
We're forgotten, for now and evermore
[Refrain]
Riding home - riding home
Finding hope - don't lose hope
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Without our compass, wandering, lost in lies of faith
(They've slowly wasted away)
Or we can dive in, finding deaths at her embrace
(At last, we put out our flames)
On hands and knees we pray to gods we've never seen
(Come, shadow, come follow me)
The final hour upon us, no more time to grieve
[Chorus]
In monochrome melodies, our tales are painted in red
(Bringing me to the edge)
Deep inside, we're nothing more than scions and sinners
In the rain, tonight our time is nigh!
Yes, time circles endlessly, the hands of fate trained ahead
(Follow me to the edge)
All things change - drawn to the flame, to rise from the ashes
To begin, we first must see the end!
