Edge Of Thorns
by Savatage An offering of reasons We put them all away A covering of treasons That one by one we let slip away A solitary dancer So lost upon her stage I have seen you on the edge of dawn Felt you there before you were born Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns But I don't think about you anymore A study made of winter Of summers long ago And dreams that use to glitter Safely now hidden under snow And so we end this chapter And let the stage lights fade I have seen you on the edge of dawn Felt you there before you were born Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns But I don't think about you anymore |

Among the images of dear departed
Here with memories so closely guarded There's an old man standing all alone As he waits among the unforgiven Here among the souls no longer living Lost in chains of sin still unatoned He carves his stone Well a man's got to do what a man must do But I'll never give my soul to you No fallen angel's prophecy Will ever take hold of the man you see So here I stand all alone With chisel in hand I work my stone And leave a message for all to see I've lived a life of insanity And carve that stone And on that final night You know I dream of you And in a flash of light I carved that stone right through Yeah I carved that stone right through |

I really want to know
What you had in store I couldn't really tell Perhaps it's just as well I came here with a dream And I just had to see If my dream would soar I knocked on every door His whole life was written Written there inside The new weekly bible His modern T.V. Guide Every night he stares back at the screen, yeah A man only sees want he wants to see When he's in his mind Where he is that he wants to be Living in a world where he's safe from reality Won't you take a chance on this night And follow me Won't you follow me (repeat) Don't need no super heros Don't need no movie stars Don't need no politicians In big black shiny cars Don't need no preacher Whose church is my T.V. A man only sees what he wants to see When he's in his mind Where he is what he wants to be Living in a world where he's safe from reality Won't you take a chance on this night child And follow me Won't you follow me (repeat) Once was a broken hero The kind that we all know The kind that hides inside us For we never show The kind we say that could never be me His whole life was written Written there inside The new weekly bible His modern T.V. Guide Stare back at the screen, yeah yeah A man only sees want he wants to see |

And so I sit here in the dark
You made the rules I played the part I never rushed or pushed my fate When time was tight I knew to wait And circumstance So well disguised Within a gathering of lies And in the dark I lie awake So I can watch you drive your stake What's that you said to me The moment dies Degrees of sanity All alone Lost unknown And whispered in your sighs And in the dark it all unwinds I pray for change The kiss of time And in my thoughts I sit and dwell The labyrinth's there I know it well What's that you said to me The moment dies Degrees of sanity All alone Lost unknown And whispered in your sighs And all the things you never heard While in my mind I search for words But time was lost The curtain fell I take my bows and wish you well What's that you said to me The moment dies Degrees of sanity All alone Lost unknown And whispered in your sighs |

Someone
Got themselves a letter In the mail the other day It's already worn and tattered And I guess It gives away All the things we keep inside All the things that really matter The face puts on its best disguise And all is well Until the heart Betrays She knows As she reads the letter That things were bound to stray Winds blow She pulls her coat tighter And the letter flies away With all the things she keeps inside All the things that really matter The face puts on its best disguise And all is well Until the heart betrays Lord bring on the night Wrap it all around me Let it hold me tight Soak up all that I bleed And I'll fly away Yeah I'll fly away Yeah I'll fly away Watch me Lord bring on the night Wrap it all around me Let it hold me tight Soak up all that I bleed I bleed |

In this city of raw emotion
What's this message you bring to me In my world of blind devotion You were there But I could never see Damien Is your heart harder Whats inside your head Is the dark your father Have all your years are bled In my world I have watched and wondered Safely here from behind these walls And your tears could they mean nothing If from this distance No one sees them fall Damien Is your heart harder Whats inside your head Is the dark your father Have all your years are bled Sometimes late at night When I'm there in bed I lie there wondering Where do you lay your head And do you say your prayers any more? And do you say your prayer? Damien Is your heart harder Do you still feel pain Does the night go farther When you're sleeping in the rain In the dark I have heard a calling Broken wings that beg to fly Is there time or is it too late Is the cut flower no longer alive Damien Is your heart harder Do you still feel pain Does the night go farther When you're sleeping in the rain Damien Damien Damien Damien |

And a cool, cool rain comes down
On a world burned by the sun And the moon arises like a child And the moment is undone And the stars never say what they see As the moon flirts with shadows it makes Through the fallen trees Some would wait for the morning light But I fall asleep 'til I'm safe In the arms of night Let the darkness roll in Let it wipe the light away In the distance Always calling Morpheus He beckons play Still the morning is pre-ordained But I believe light is the source of all of our pain It reveals our smallest sins But dark covers all and will always take you Armed and gunning I've been running Always just before the day In the distance Day is dawning But I'm already miles away In the night there's wonder Always there for you to see In the light of morning Visions fade And dreams can flee With the darkness the night forgives Covers our scars and lets The lost souls live And the morning's a distant fear But if we move fast they'll never find us Armed and gunning I've been running Through a world that's in decay Let them thunder stare and wonder Cause I'm already miles away And the rain comes down |

Hey there you
Way out there in the distance Can you hear me Are you there I know it's late So please forgive my persistence But I'm hanging Do you care So lay back Call off the attack Cause if you look deep Dreams are nothing that I lack And all I seek A final chance to speak And I would let the whole thing keep If I could just sleep Hey there you Way out there could you show me Just a signal Or a sign That after all All these years that you've known me And I'm not just killing time So lay back Call off the attack Cause if you look deep Dreams are nothing that I lack And all I seek A final chance to speak But I would let the whole thing keep If I could just sleep As I lay there late at night Building castles in the air Out of alibis and all those little lies And then I look inside And pray that I don't care I don't care I don't care Hey there you way out there in the distance |

She's got shotgun innocence
In her eyes so intense Never sure of her intent She's a Paris pretty child Even got a wink that's styled Keeps it all behind a smile Look into those worldly eyes And you've got to wonder what she's done No use thinking you can win her Cause this child's already won And it's time that you stand up Show's on Here's why you paid Hold tight Net's gone So welcome to the stage And it's too late to be saved She don't need designer dress Has them all though I would guess Got the wardrobe of the blessed Cover of a magazine Movie star, beauty queen All wrapped up and razor clean Locking up with paradise Is really so much harder than it seems See her as a revelation Much more safely visited in dreams And it's time that you stand up Show's on Here's why you paid Hold tight Net's gone So welcome to the stage And it's too late to be saved So you find you're dreaming about her But it's such a little vice And if you think you've got a chance, boy Well it's time to roll the dice Stand up Show's on Here's why you paid Hold tight Net's gone So welcome to the stage Stand up Show's on Here's why you paid, yeah Hold tight, yeah Net's gone So welcome to the stage And it's too late to be saved Before it's too late Shotgun innocence Innocence |
