Razor's Edge lyrics

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
