Back from the Edge lyrics
by Bruce Dickinson
[Verse 1]
A silent river flowing black
Strange attractions, no turning back
Present danger I recall
That pins my senses to the wall
[Chorus 1]
Back from the edge
Where the darkness has fled
And I'm swimming in light
And I'm falling, falling from the edge
[Post-Chorus]
Back from the edge
[Verse 2]
I fell from grace and that's a fact
I still have urges I fight back
Cold decisions wear me thin
Kill yourself, begin again
[Chorus]
Back from the edge
Where you're not worth a damn
Throw yourself into light
And the rush as you spin
From the edge
[Post-Chorus]
Back from the edge
Back from the edge
Back from the edge
[Bridge]
Now and then
I wonder where the faces
From my childhood have gone
Like father, like son
In your bones
It lives on glowing shadows
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Back from the edge
Back from the edge
Back from the edge
Back from the edge
