Standing on the Precipice Songtext / Lyric

The cold reaches
Into my bleak existence
Grabbing my scars
I alone can feel the presence
Or so has been fortold I stand upon the precipice
Feel the wind blow my hair
The mirror defies me
The shadow envelops my spirit
What will I become? The gods themselves have damned me to my fate
Of which I'm told that I was born too late
Perhaps the fire in my chest will flicker out
And then I'd fly to any shore to escape my presence here

"Oh shadow warrior try to fly
And then what haunts you will surely die
But if you go, who will fulfill what's prophesied?"

Fly? I fly? I flee? Away
Jehovah lies crying
Yet mountains move
Every step a spiral
They're hunting, destroying
The maelstrom...it churns
The elders know not
Yet the gods laugh

The mirror defies me
The shadow envelops my spirit
What have I become?
The prophecy is fulfilled
I am vengeance borne
