The Edge Of Forever Lyrics

WE STAND ON A CONSTANT THRESHOLD OF
A QUANTUM HIERARCHY, UNIVERSAL & PURE
THE ECHO AMID SILENCE AN EPOCH FROM ANTIQUITY
OF RED - SHIFTING MATTER, FINITE YET UNBOUNDED
THE ETHEREAL NOMENCLATURE OF GRANDEUR, ON HIGH

WHERE THE RELATIVE IS IRRELEVANT
AND IMMENSITY IS ETERNITY
FOREVER & EVER, AMEN
YET, THE UNIVERSE ENCOMPASSES & ENGULFS
EVEN, ALMOST, INFINITY AS AN ATOM

AND I SAW ETERNITY THE OTHER NIGHT
THE UNVANQUISHED BLACK SPLENDOR
OF THE EDGE OF FOREVER
WHERE OUR CONSCIENCE & COMPREHENSION
FAIL FROM FRAILTY

YET, NINE WORLDS I REMEMBER
A COMMUNITY OF MATTER
AND, BY THOUGHT, I COMPREHEND OUR WORLD
HEAVEN & EARTH ARE AS OLD AS I
AND ALL THINGS ARE ONE

II, PERPETUAL
THROUGH THE EYES OF NIGHT
WE SEE AN INTIMATION
OF A FRAIL EXISTENCE
A FABRIC, & A VOID
WHERE THE GREATEST
HAVE GREATER STILL

ON OUTWARD, & UPWARDS
SPIRALING, FOREVER
ARE ASCENTS, DESCENTS
PERPETUAL

SEEING FAR ENOUGH
TO BE BLINDED BY DARKNESS
GRASP, YET NEVER REACH
A BASTION ETERNAL
BOUNDARIED ONLY BY CONSCIENCE
AND A FLACCID UNDERSTANDING
ATHANASIA IN ALL AGES
IN ALL DIRECTIONS
IN ALL MINDS

FILLED WITH ELEGANT TRUTHS,
AND PRISTINE ILLUSIONS,
STRETCH OUT YOUR EYES
WHERE THE GREATEST
HAVE GREATER STILL
PERPETUAL
