lyrics

On The Edge Written by James Parkinson

Have I written my end?
Burnt myself to a thread
A tragic waste
Or the right time to end?

Dust and doubt
I’m at the edge again
The beauty and the splendour it still hurts
Dust and doubt I’m at the edge my friend
But the light is alive in your words
And winter ends

A titan, a voice from the depths
Breathes in the words we lament
The darkness and light
There never will be a drought

Dust and doubt I’m at the edge again
The beauty and the splendour it still hurts
Dust and doubt I’m at the edge my friend
But the light is alive in your words
And winter ends

And winter ends

Oh I’m on the edge, the edge, the edge
