THE PRECIPICE Lyrics

It's there, the temptation

To flirt with danger, slow dance with death

To such behavior we are no strangers

But one false step can send the surest-footed over the edge

So beware the compulsion

Should the void come a-calling, calling to collect on a debt

Perish the thought and take a step back

Lest one wrong move condemn you to live out life on the ledge

Standing on the precipice

Tête-à-tête with eternal oblivion

Begging for that cold caress

Whispers of sweet nothingness

Don't despair, regain composure

Before you lose your sense of self, your self-control

Because it will take more than pick and shovel

To dig yourself out of that black hole

Standing on the precipice

Locked in a staring contest with a nihilistic abyss

Blink out of existence and miss catching a glimpse of

A glimmer of meaning in the meaningless

As above, so below

What lies beyond the veil remains a quantity unknown

But for now tomorrow, it still awaits

The choice is yours and yours alone to make
