This is a philosophical song about how each person travels through life ultimately on their own, with fate nudging his path this way and that; and how living in the eternal now allows the spirit to fly free.
Lyrics
Many a man can't make a stand
Till he stands alone
Hear the heartache beckon him on and on and on
To places he's never known
On the brink of the future
Where the sirens call
On the brink of the future
And beyond, till you fall
Withdrawn from them, he looks on past
A place inside no one claims
Look to the sun, peace has begun
Even as your eyesight is maimed
On the brink of the future
nearly meets with the past
On the brink of the future
Even this cannot last
Somehow you stop, look down to the valley
Flight of the soul
You left nothing behind you
Somehow you know a new feeling,
A new-bodied soul
Powers await as a foreign night falls
And the spirits recant their spells
Darkness unveils the old mountain halls
You are given a place to dwell
On the brink of the future
On the brink of the future
On the brink of the future
Brink of the future
On the brink of the future
