Dancing at the darkened door Forgetting what Has gone before
When all is said, we muddle through Forget the why of what we do.
At the edge of eternity. At the edge of eternity.
I look on every face and nameÝ And see that we are all the same
No little lives, no little dreams And nothingís truly as it seems
At the edge of eternity At the edge of eternity.
Avoid the eyes Avoid the truth And choose your idols In your youth
ThatÝ way is sure To devastate When you find you finally Meet your fate
On the edge of eternity At the edge of eternity
Each indiscretion Each mistake We know the sin we give and take
Doing allÝ For our own sake Hoping for no more than an even break
OnÝ the edge of eternity At the edge of eternity.
So get your eyesÝ On things above Where visionís cleared By the fire of love
For darkness flees The searing light Here on our knees We set our sight
Oíer the edge of eternity Oíer the edge of eternity.
How close we areÝ To the edge of eternity
How close we are To the edge of eternity.
