Razor's Edge

I stood beneath the vision tree
And through its leaves it spoke to me
Veins of a life through birth and death
From my very first steps to my final breath
Stronger than stone
A thousand roots below
But you cut me down to skin and bone
To form a crown of thorns
I can feel the walls begin to rumble
And I can see the world begin to fade
I returned to the vision tree
What was left looked back at me
Scars of a life through fire and blade
Humanity hangs in its final days
Stronger than stone
A thousand roots below
But you cut me down to skin and bone
To form a crown of thorns
Please forgive me, please forgive me
I can feel the walls begin to rumble
And I can see the world begin to fade
I can feel the walls begin to rumble
And I can see the world begin to fade
Though I do not know its face in the storm
Beneath the blanket of snow
Lies a Spring waiting to be born
But we'll cut off the head
Riding the razor's edge
