Silver Tightrope - Armageddon

I close my eyes to worldly skies

I leave behind the day

And deep within me, I shall begin

To chase my thoughts away

As loved ones hold me to their sides

Their strength flows into me

To cast me out of sorrow’s blindness

Into eternity

I thought I heard them softly calling

The voices of the spheres

As light years flash forever falling

Away from waking fears

I reach out, try to touch the passing

Of beings bathed in light

But they just smile, their eyes not asking

To see beyond their sight

Ooh silver tightrope

Ooh silver tightrope

Ooh silver tightrope

I thought I saw the candle-bearers

On their way to the beyond

Beckon to me from the future

To come and join the throng

I stepped upon the silver tightrope

Balancing beliefs

And wings unfurling with a new hope

I left behind my griefs

Ooh silver tightrope

Ooh silver tightrope

Ooh silver tightrope

Ooh silver tightrope

Ooh silver tightrope

Ooh silver tightrope

Ooh silver tightrope

Ooh silver tightrope

Ooh silver tightrope

Ooh silver tightrope

Ooh silver tightrope

Ooh silver tightrope
