about

Loosely based on scifi writer Alastair Reynolds' book Chasm City

lyrics

Push yourself to the edge
And there you must look down
Perhaps you’ll see how far it is
To the bottom of your deepest well
I
He walked across the room in confidence
In a picture perfect masquerade
Cold steel comfort gripped in his pocket
Eyes alert as he spies his prey
II
Slow to arise
Deep is the tide
Another’s life
Another time
Flashes past my eyes
Who am I

Faded past
I cannot place
A present
I cannot hold
One in the same man
Seen in different light



III
Snapping out of one dreamland
I crashed into the here and now

From within that darkest recess
Pours out my blackest fears

This feeling I cannot shake
That something waits for me there

Gaze too long in that abyss
And the darkness stares back into me

I just want back that life
And time is not on my side

Instrumental

II Reprise
Slow to realize
Deep is the divide
Another’s life
Another time
Lost to my eyes
I am who I am

Fading past
I know this place
A present
I must hold onto
One in the same man
Seen in brilliant light

III Reprise
Persistence wears upon my frame
Second guesses tear at my mind

Choose between the one I hunt
And those I touch and leave behind

Unclear of whom I really seek
Torn by what I knew and know

He who fights monsters take care
Lest he become the beast in soul

I just want to live this life
Free of deceit and lies
And time is now on my side

Outro
Stepping closer to the task at hand
