Eden`s Wall Lyrics

B. Payne, P. Barrere, and S. Murphy



Storm clouds all around me

there's a lightning at my back 

but there's an angel on my shoulder

that's keepin' my on track

no matter how bad I stumble

she's there to catch me when I fall

my angel of forgiveness has been 

around to see it all



I wandered down from nowhere

it was a long time ago

with my images and dreams

my hopes for the best

giving nothing away

nothing yet lost



but now I'm going

going over eden's wall

won't be back

you can have it all

take my chances make the run --

finish standing tall

cause I'm going, going, going over eden's wall



the heat pu an edge on things that Summer

the clock ticking away

had all the world before me

except for the ungodly war

caught in a river, the current took me away

to a wilderness of reverance

left me hanging by a thread



a splintered prayer an invocation

born out of chance at dusk

the benediction at sunrise

it's a resonance ringing

robbed me of my innocence

I'd run out of trust



cause now I'm going

going over eden's wall

won't be back

you can have it all

take my chances make the run --

finish standing tall

cause I'm going, going, 

going over eden's wall



I'm held to the faith

feeling wounded

that the future unfolds

I could not cry

like a conversation not always understood

a broken spirit dries the bones

It's architecture and intent revealed a little at a time

I am delivered gone without a trace

I'm running out of time

I've seen beyond the line

the question I weigh

It's not so much the cost

It's what I'm willing to pay



going, going over eden's wall

won't be back, no

you can have it all

take my chances -- make the run --

finish standing tall

cause I'm going, going, going over eden's wall

goin' over goin' under run right through it

look out -- yeah yeah
