Edge of Thorns Complete Lyrics

He Carves His Stone Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Among the images of dear departed

Here with memories so closely guarded

There's an old man standing all alone

[Verse 2]

As he waits among the unforgiven

Here among the souls no longer living

Lost in chains of sin still unatoned

[Chorus]

He carves his stone

Oh yeah!

He carves his stone

[Verse 3]

Well a man's got to do what a man must do

But I'll never give my soul to you

No fallen angel's prophecy

Will ever take hold of the man you see

No!

[Verse 4]

So here I stand all alone

With chisel in hand I work my stone

And leave a message for all to see

I've lived a life of insanity

[Chorus]

He carve that stone

He carves his stone

Carves that stone

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Ohhh

He carves his stone

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

And on that final night

You know I dream of you

And in a flash of light

I carved that stone right through

Yeah!

Yeah-yeah!

I carved that stone right through

Yeah!

All That I Bleed Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Someone got themselves a letter

In the mail the other day

It's already worn and tattered

And I guess it gives away

[Chorus 1]

All the things we keep inside

All the things that really matter

The face puts on its best disguise

And all is well

Until the heart betrays

[Verse 2]

She knows as she reads her letter

That things were bound to stray

Winds blow, she pulls her coat tighter

And the letter flies away

[Chorus 1]

With all the things she keeps inside

All the things that really matter

The face puts on its best disguise

And all is well

Until the heart betrays

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus 2]

Lord bring on the night

Wrap it all around me

Let it hold me tight

Soak up all that I bleed

[Chorus 2]

Lord bring on the night

Wrap it all around me

Let it hold me tight

Soak up all that I bleed

[Bridge]

And I'll fly away

Yeah, I'll fly away, oh

Lord I'll fly away

Watch me, yeah yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus 2]

Lord bring on the night

Wrap it all around me

Let it hold me tight

Soak up all that I bleed

[Outro]

I bleed

Miles Away Lyrics

[Verse 1]

And a cool, cool rain comes down

On a world burned by the sun

And the moon arises like a child

And the moment is undone

[Verse 2]

And the stars never say what they see

As the moon flirts with shadows it makes

Through the fallen trees

Some would wait for the morning light

But I fall asleep 'til I'm safe

In the arms of night

[Segue]

Yeah!

[Verse 3]

Let the darkness roll in

Let it wipe the light away

In the distance

Always calling

Morpheus, he beckons play

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Still the morning is pre-ordained

But I believe light is the source of all of our pain

It reveals our smallest sins

But dark covers all and will always take you

[Chorus 1]

Armed and gunning

I've been running

Always just before the day

In the distance

Day is dawning

But I'm already miles away

Miles away, yeah-yeah

[Verse 4]

In the night there's wonder

Always there for you to see

In the light of morning

Visions fade

And dreams can flee

[Pre-Chorus 2]

With the darkness the night forgives

Covers our scars and lets

The lost souls live

And the morning's a distant fear

But if we move fast they'll never find us

[Chorus 2]

Armed and gunning

I've been running

Through a world that's in decay

Let them thunder stare and wonder

Cause I'm already miles away

Miles away, yeah

Oooh, miles away

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus 1]

Armed and gunning

I've been running

Always just before the day

In the distance

Day is dawning

But I'm already miles away

[Outro]

Miles away, yeah, yeah-yeah

Miles, miles away

Miles away

Miles, miles away

Ooh yeah

Away

And the rain comes down

Sleep Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hey there you

Way out there in the distance

Can you hear me

Are you there

I know it's late

So please forgive my persistence

But I'm hanging

Do you care

[Chorus]

So lay back

Call off the attack

Cause if you look deep

Dreams are nothing that I lack

And all I seek

A final chance to speak

And I would let the whole thing keep

If I could just sleep

[Verse 2]

Hey there you

Way out there, could you show me

Just a signal

Or a sign

That after all

All these years

That you know me

And I'm not just

Killing time

[Chorus]

So lay back

Call off the attack

Cause if you look deep

Dreams are nothing that I lack

And all I seek

A final chance to speak

And I would let the whole thing keep

If I could just sleep

[Bridge]

And as I lay there late at night

Building castles in the air

Out of alibis and all those little lies

And then I look inside

And pray that I don't care

I don't care

[Outro]

I don't care

Hey you there

Way out there in the distance
