I'm falling up the steps - looming up for me
Mighty is the force that keeps me going on
The patina of time - vanished cultures pride
Swallowed by the strong - will keep the world go round
Down the beaten track - along the guiding line
Nothing can go wrong until the end of time
But still no light to see by swimming down the stream
Just threatening the abyss beyond the secure way
Check it out,
Check it out - our well suited plan will not work without
If you reach for the bright end of view things are waiting for you
And the voices still refrain - keeping the vision you will remain
And the echoes call again - reaching the border - rising the flame
You'll never get here again if you choose to lose
I sometimes feel the gap - shrinking visually
As though to jump across - be managed easily
But who can tell how strong the ground will be
The hold beneath my feet could crumble suddenly
There I'am - I finally got it made
I've reached the peak of what it's worth
But even here, the sight has not cleared up - it's even darker now
And I begin to realize again: That's not my way
And the one straight out is crumblin' away
And the view - I sometimes catch a glimpse
Is not the kind I'm heading for
And the voice, inviting me to stay gets softer every day
At the time I take a look around - I see bridges
Crossing the gap to another world
And now and then, the deeper I relent, the louder my desire moan
And now and then, the clearer it becomes - my fate lies off the way
And I dare to step one foot to the other side
And I feel the deepest urge to step by
