Lyrics
(Edge of the blade)
Time to break through the anger
Look for the remains of the everlasting me
Incinerating hands
That touched your graceful face
In the mysterious ways
These scorching scars
Outlast the everlasting visual drains
Never minding and rewinding
(Edge of the blade)
Time to break through the anger
Look for the remains of the everlasting me
Cherish your hunger
For resentment and dismay
And then come out to play
Cascading colours
Meticulously all washed away
Time for choosing, not for losing
Defying the fire
Reviving within
Time to break through
Your walls are soaring high
They are disarranging
The surface on which we build our own lie
(Edge of the blade)
Time to break through the anger
Look for the remains of the everlasting me
Your wish for virtual perfection
Seems in vain
It's trying to evolve
Your paragon
Possessed your inner-self to no avail
No more waiting, no depending
Defying the fire
Reviving within
Time to break through
Your walls are soaring high
They are disarranging
The surface on which we build our own lie
Ooh-ooh-ah-ah-ah
Don't throw your life away
Ooh-ooh-ah-ah-ah
You know the sin
Watch your back
Now, feel the heat
Look for the world
One more time
And now can't you see
With open eyes
All of us are incomplete?
It's time to break through
Your walls are soaring high
You can even try to
Break through
A perfect state of mind
And now you break through
You reach beyond the sky
You should never, ever
Build on the surface made of lies
(Edge of the blade)
Time to break through the anger
Look for the remains of the everlasting me
