‘Straight ahead with an attitude is how I’d describe this one. Most Annihilator
compositions take a few days to put together whereas ‘The Edge’ was written in
only a few hours. The guitar riffing is quite simple (for once) which seems to
let the vocals hammer home their ‘nothing’s going to stop me’ message.’
The edge, I’m walking a fine line
To young to be waiting at stop signs
I’m on fire and I can’t cool down
And I’m ready to roll right out of this town
‘Cause there’s something in me you can’t learn in school
They teach it on the street, it’s the only rule
It’s the edge
The edge, I’m dying in the classroom
Tell me why should I dance to your tune
Keep your plans for my security
Because there’s only one thing taking care of me
And it’s harder than steel, it cuts like a knife
It’s the way I run, it’s a way of life
The edge
You can’t hold me down forever
What doesn’t kill me makes me strong
If you can’t take it, you can’t make it
Out here on the edge for very long
And it’s harder than steel, it cuts like a knife
It’s the way I run, it’s a way of life
The edge
Cast your stone now he who never sins
Clearly all your roles are now defined
(you’ve got yours but i have broken mine)
Simply just reflections of
My honest professional belief that i am god
(i am god)
Stop me before i go over the edge
Stop me before i go over the edge
Stop me before i…
Happy children specially in need
(send them to the dentist they will bleed)
Before you get to know exhesitate
(could be gay or could be straight)
Your mental state which separates
The action from intention, wash your hands
(wash your hands)
Only for tinsel
The edge of the moment, the glory of the kill
Thirsting for excitement and hunger for the thrill
Screams around the corners
Sound like demons in the wind
Their voices pushing me to where i’ve never been
(chorus)
A look at the cards and they just see the red
I say it’s all in the head
Fear’s a skin that you have to shed
If not you’re better off dead
Time’s on the edge
Means i’m on the edge of time…
Maybe no tomorrow i live my life today
Luck is my religion to the lady i will pray
I fear to see the black in every tinsel town
They an try and take my pride
But they can never take my crown
(chorus)
Time’s on the edge
Life’s full of time
Life’s in my head
Means i’m on the edge of time…
i was blowing in the wind
And i can see the sun setting on the hill
It’s almost gone and then hills are greener than i’ve ever seen
And this feels too real to me
Just to know the change
Now don’t let me leave this moment
Hold me in this place
Where everything is clearer than of all before
And everything makes sense
When you say
Stand on the edge
And don’t be afraid to fall
Take a breath and tell me what you see
And you say
Stand on the edge
And don’t be afraid to fall
Take a breathe and tell me what you see
As we sat down by the water
In my mind i felt a gentle breeze blew soft against my face
And we talked for hours
It didn’t seem to matter what about
As long as i was there with you
Yeah and show me why
It is to believe in something greater than i can’t understand
And show me why it is to believe
When you say
Stand on the edge
And don’t be afraid to fall
Take a breath and tell me what you see
And you say
Stand on the edge of tomorrow
Don’t close your eyes
Take a look around you
Tell me what you see
Tell me what you see
Tell me what you see
And you say stand on the edge
And don’t be afraid to fall
Take a breath and tell me what you see
And you say
Stand on the edge and don’t be afraid to fall
Take a breath and tell me what you see
Tell me what you see
Tell me what you see
When you say
Stand on the edge and don’t be afraid to fall
Take a breath and tell me what you see
And you say stand on the edge of tomorrow
Don’t close your eyes
Take a look around you, tell me what you see
Tell me what you see
