Beyond the Edge of Time - Spiral

In a city as old as time,

beneath layers miles deep,

a young man slaves away

fueled by great ideas.

And even though he’s scared,

he uses himself to test

his small machines capable

of granting life

And he can feel the change as he is reborn,

cell by cell and thought by thought.

Do you want to live forever?

Do you want to see what lies

beyond the edge of time?

Shed this mortal coil and let me

show you the way to eternity.

your life is shadowed with fear.

mortality is a veil that we must destroy.

So close your eyes relax and come with me.

But the change is too fast,

the pain too intense

so he changes the mixture and

brings it to the people.

And he’s hailed as a hero.

The savior of the people

until they all

start to die.

But his own body,

filled with a different mixture,

merely sleeps.

Waiting for the world

to be safe once more.
