Back From the Edge

Back from the Edge

by Bruce Dickinson

A silent river flowing black

strange attractions no turning back

present danger I recall

that pins my senses to the wall

Back from the edge where the darkness has fled

and I'm swimming in light 

and I'm falling... 

falling from the edge...

back from the edge

I fell from grace and that's a fact

still have urges I fight back

cold decisions wear me thin

kill yourself begin again

back from the fear

that you're not worth a damn

throw yourself

into light and the rush as you

spin from the edge...

back from the edge...

now and then I wonder where the faces from my childhood have gone

like father like son your bones it lives on glowing shadows

back from the edge

I have to confess that I first listened to this song last week. Ive been hearing Bruce Dickinson's solo career since a bit before the Maiden concert. and I have to say that I like it very much. I think it was a necessary change of style between the first albums and where Iron Maiden was going at the moment.

but going to what matters today, if I had known this song last year, it would have been even cooler... as someone who had a rebirth, I feel this song very close to me and I can really appreciate the lyrics. Falling from grace is never easy, but it is also necessary  for the process to be complete... 

I also want to ddedicate it to all of you who had fallen... enjoy how everything feels so mcuh better afterwards...

Keep on rockin'

Best Wishes
