Lyrics
Abyss
standing on the edge of the abyss
I could fly or I could fall
even odds are on the risk
here I start and here I stall
and I'm frozen in time and space
I'm gripped in a fearful embrace
terrified of losing paradise
suddenly jumping off
I dive into the wind
falling I find it's too late
to take it back again
and I'm falling through space and time
In an agony so sublime
terrified of finding paradise
adventure makes living worthwhile
too safe is a jail for the soul
braving the danger is always a trial
you still got to give it a roll
I wish I could float here forever
where there's always the chance to fly
but I'm fatally falling free
plunging from on high
will the fallen become the flyer
saved by love, lifted up
caught in the warm embrace of paradise
wanting the warm embrace of paradise
give me the warm embrace of paradise
