The Edge of the World

In times of fear and mystery, when the gods had ruled the earth Sound the bells of victory The sign of our rebirth How many died in vain, like waves against the shore No one hears their whispers anymore Lost, like the hope in the battle we fought Through the cold and the rain Gone, like the years in the shadows and pain, unknown I've seen through the eyes of the dead And suffered for them time and again Granted with immortality The price for the savior of humanity Rise from the ashes of mankind He walks into the fire With the fate of us all in his hands And the sadness fills his eyes The prophecies of Babylon As he stands at the edge of the world Long, is the journey, oh, long is the road As the sun rises over the world The quest is hard 'til the battle can end But I have the power in my hands I've seen through the eyes of the dead And suffered for them time and again Granted with immortality The price for the savior of humanity Rise from the ashes of mankind He walks into the fire With the fate of us all in his hands And the sadness fills his eyes The prophecies of Babylon As he stands at the edge of the world Honor, the god of Enlil Silence for the beast is now the prey Denied a chance for life I take back that what is mine Die Wrath, we rule the skies May the rain cleanse and wash away Imperfect, these creations of mine Corrupted by greed, they shall pay Chosen, saved from death's embrace One last chance for man to change his ways Deified, a place amongst the gods Saved from mankind's own demise Rise from the ashes of mankind He walks into the fire With the fate of us all in his hands And the sadness fills his eyes The prophecies of Babylon As he stands at the edge of the world From the ashes of mankind He walks into the fire With the fate of us all in his hands And the sadness fills his eyes The prophecies of Babylon As he stands at the edge of the world At the end of the journey for the savior of the earth Sound the bells of victory through the signs of our rebirth As the shadows fade away, we watch the new sun rise No one fears the darkness anymore
