Edge of Forever

Debby Alten
When the morning comes
And daylight is rising
We think it's just another day
See the signs, creation is tired
How long can it go on this way

It's all coming down
The curtain is falling
History is standing on the line
Life as we know it, is hanging in the balance
Can't you see we're running out of time

We're about to begin the timeless journey'"again
We've been here once before
Now this time we're back for more'"to win

Don't you know we're standing on the edge of forever?

When the evening comes
And night time is falling
Another day has closed its eyes
And I don't know just how far we've got to go
But I know it could be any time

You can almost hear Armageddon is calling
I can see a white horse riding on the heavens

Well it's almost over now
I can see it in your eyes
Almost time to say goodbye

We're standing on the edge of forever

Adapted from lyrics by Michael B. Alten

    It is powerful and still not your usual hopeful self.

    Not sure if I'm reading this correctly but read it over 3 times and seem to be reading a message in between the lines - very interesting work.
