Lyrics of ' At The Edge ' by Vultress

In these burdened moments, caught in inexperience
The world goes out of focus
Sweat pours down his eyes but he's too scared to notice

In these burdened minutes, presented with the source of my pain
Growing vengeful and livid
A man once respected belied and rejected

But through this immortal lens
A mortal cries out
His world on her depends
The boy in the scope of the beast cocks, back, and defends

Let now the bell toll
Let all who stands before me hear it ringing
Join me or die
Let curtains close on this inevitable end

Find your army
Choose your allegiance

Now shall you pray for forgiveness, child of innocence
If not saved by ignorance
I would strike you down with God as my witness

Your freedom relies on my charity
Your right to live is contingent on clarity
Now rub the pane gently
Define your fidelity

Let now the bell toll
Let all who stands before me hear it ringing
Join me or die
Let curtains close on this inevitable end

That night we lay wide awake
The backseat keeps ur secret safe
The glory of the mighty spell
The stars shone bright before they fell

You can't tell me I was wrong
You can't keep me strung along
You were everything but everything's long gone

That morning made fears alive
I believed in words contrived
My tired eyes, betrayed
Symptomatic of the end of days

You can't tell me I was wrong
You can't keep me strung along
You were everything but everything's long gone

If the first shot missed his heart, and the second never fired
Is the deed left undone?
If given this last chance to transform your regret
Would you pick up your gun?

Go now, forward to the end
We all on us now depend
The ends will justify the means
Though such justice futile leans

Find strength to tear your world apart
Retrieve the mirror from your heart
Go then, to the edge, alone
Make the jagged coast its home

The trail of men whose bodies line
This boulevard of my design
Their bones are scattered, clothes are torn
With rats and gnats they are adorned

I am blameless, I stayed true
To nature's cruel intent for you
Not guilty for the man I'll kill
The predator predates me still

I jog down the night-deadened alleys where no one can hear me
Vacant lots and fragrant bars
I can sense I'm not alone
A stirring in the alcove interrupts my shortcut home

Enter the vagrant
Though my mind erased his face
He cackles ironically, Caesar, sans time and place

Surrounded by the remnants of his childhood
Colored bricks of plastic, covered box of sand
I discovered the boy rocking gently with the mirror in his frightened hands
Daring not to stare it in the eyes for what lies there is scared and scarred as him
Quaking in the corner seeing all his features bordered by a frame of sin

I will guide him to the edge
He will see his fears alive

How far we are we are from home
From home for someone
For someone to call someone to call our own
Someone to call

With a swift and single motion, the boy cocks back and throws
The man nor boy will notice how the golden remnant glows
The jagged rocks below them merge the mirror with the land
The ocean scatters bits of it and mixes them with sand
