Edge Of Sanity Passage Of Time Lyrics

But for those who seek eternity,
For those who yearn prosperity,
From this single act of sanity,
Will raise you far above humanity.

Willing host who doth not know,
The full desire of this prisoner,
You walk where angels fear to go,
Thou shalt soon embrace the reckoner,
Thy halo of glory,
Hope's true gage,
May prove to be an evil pilgrimage.

Something had happened,
Beyond her control,
A moment of madness unfettered a soul,
That would relish,
A freedom denied once before,
By a desperate nation,
With it's back to the wall,
Within a split second of reading this text,
The spirit was free,
And had fled from it's nest,
It was eager to grow,
From this sudden reprieve,
And thus in the woman a life was conceived,
From the beginning the world was misled,
As a baby was born in a monastery bed,
The miracle happening here on this Earth,
Was perceived as a glorious,
New Virgin Birth.

From the moment in time,
That baby was born,
The sun did now rise on,
A new Crimson dawn,
And the creature just bided,
It's time undiscovered,
So safe in the cradling arms of the mother.

But for those who seek eternity,
For those who yearn prosperity,
From this single act of sanity,
Will raise you far above humanity.

Secure from the world,
The child remained hidden,
A serpent disguised,
In the Garden of Eden,
And all who looked down,
On this newly born babe,
Were ignorant now of the path,
This would take,
The people were blind,
To the subtle control,
That was exercised,
Daily upon every soul,
With no room to question,
This delicate life,
All fears would be drowned,
And all doubts would be stifled.

But one single mind,
Did stand out from the crowd,
Though quiet at first,
With hardly a sound,
The Mother Superior harbored suspicion,
Brought to her heart,
By three simple vision.

The three visions,
The Mother Superior bore,
A bitter forewarning of what was in store,
This infant so frail,
Must not grow to be strong,
The world was at risk,
If she waited too long,
So veiled by the blackness of night,
She did creep,
And enter where mother,
And child were both asleep,
And onwards she moved to
Where the crib lay,
She leant over the baby
And started to pray,
She prayed for forgiveness,
For what she would do,
She prayed that the knife,
In her hand would aim true,
But all of a sudden,
She was now paralyzed,
The baby daughter had opened her eyes.

And into those eyes,
The woman gazed,
The look in her face,
Was both haunted and crazed,
She was smothered and swamped,
In confusion and sadness,
The first to be gripped,
By this foul crimson madness,
This brutal psychosis,
Could not be explained,
No one single cause,
Was suggested or blamed,
But no one could think that,
A child was involved,
And the mystery illness,
Remained unresolved.

So all seemed as normal,
For seven short years,
A veil of deception dissolved any fears,
But there was one lapse,
In the child's disguise,
And that could be seen,
In the depths of her eyes,
In the depths of her eyes.
