At the edge of the world
I behold, as I gaze into the sea
I see my reflection
A projection of my spirit
Beckoning me to join him
Below the surface
I try to resist his call
But a wave engulfs and drags me out
As I'm lifted, sifted away from sand
As I'm drifting, drifting away from land
Following the current that rips me away
Thrashing helplessly I fade
Race to where the water falls
There's no place to go but down
Close my eyes before I'm gone
What lies beyond I'll never know
For as I braced to plunge
The wind it carried me to the sun
As I'm lifted, whisked across the sky
Still I'm drifting, drifting up high
It brings me face to face
With a golden warm embrace
Assuring me I will be saved
If I should see it rise again
But the vision it begins to fade
The dream it starts to slip away
This sea of stars disintegrates
As I fall into the wake
Staring at the opposite end
Drenched in a sea of regret
Trying not to recollect
The thoughts that flood right through my head
As I lie and contemplate
Presented by the same debate
Shall I stay to see the sun
Or end the night before the dawn
