the edge of forever

• symphony x - the damnation game (1996), 3. parça.
  
  [music: michael romeo, michael pinnela, thomas miller, jason rullo and russel allen]
  
  pictures of what used to be,
  lie in pieces on the floor
  finds himself in an empty room,
  her voice calls out to him
  he opens the door, but there's no one there
  no one there...
  
  draped in a silken glow of moonlight
  through the mist i see, a lucid cathedral appears to me.
  pray for a glimpse of touch of sunlight
  chain our shadow down, night settles in, my love,
  you never make a sound.
  
  love is flowing from my fingertips
  never in control of this domain.
  all around me, my essence lay
  watch the vultures circle through the pouring rain.
  
  close your eyes - and try to remember
  discordant lullabies of days gone by.
  close your eyes - on the edge of forever
  a chance to dream, fast asleep your nightmare ends.
  
  as the walls converge around me.
  castles crumbling down, everything is not
  as it seems to be.
  
  once more, i fells i must return
  no more will my soul burn. dawn breaks the ground,
  my love,
  and with it you fade away...
  
  close your eyes - and try to remember
  discordant lullabies of days gone by.
  close your eyes - on the edge of forever
  a chance to dream, fast asleep your nightmare ends.
  
  [solo]
  
  close your eyes - and try to remember
  discordant lullabies of days gone by.
  close your eyes - on the edge of forever
  a chance to dream, fast asleep your nightmare ends.
  
  my love never dies...

• symphony x'in, toplum içinde kulaklıkla dinlemeye çekindiğim şarkısı.
  
  öyle güzel ki, dinlerken oluşan yüz ifademden insanlar çok yanlış fikirlere kapılabilirler.
  özellikle 3:30-3:45 arasında, o parmaklar sanki gitarın perdelerinde değil de, tenimde dolaşıyor gibi hissediyorum...
• oldukça karanlık ve kasvetli bir parça. bazı yerlerde vokal ve enstrümanların uyumu tüyleri diken diken ediyor.
