One Step Beyond the Grave Songtext
von Dream Child

Casting away tomorrow
From all the time I borrowed
While others weep for life slipping away
Nothin′ to say

I didn't see what surrounds me
Leaving a trail of shattered dreams
Parade along the side show
Of sorrowful ghosts
Revealing what I couldn′t know

I can see forever in your eyes
Leading me thru dark halls in candlelight
The hallowed call to purify my soul
A narrow path away from what's haunting me

Distant hopes
Thru the clouds I see them shining


One step beyond the grave
Heaven's gate, for the honored and brave
Who will die, before the setting sun?
And leave the world undone
One step beyond the grave
Am I erased and now it′s too late?
Will I die before my life′s begun?
And no more rising sun again

It's like hiding in a mirror
Now you′re facing all that's left behind
No more crawling down the ladder
Every move unveils a backward mind

I can see forever in your eyes
Leading me thru dark halls in candlelight
The hallowed call to purify my soul
A narrow path away from what′s haunting me

Distant hopes
Thru the clouds I see them shining

One step beyond the grave
Heaven's gate, for the honored and brave
Who will die, before the setting sun?
And leave the world undone
One step beyond the grave
Am I erased and now it′s too late?
Will I die before my life's begun?
And no more rising sun again


I can see forever in your eyes
Leading me thru dark halls in candlelight
The hallowed call to purify my soul
A narrow path away from what's haunting me

Distant hopes
Thru clouds I see them shining

One step beyond the grave
Heaven′s gate, for the honored and brave
Who will die, before the setting sun?
And leave the world undone

One step beyond the grave
Am I erased and now it′s too late?
Will I die before my life's begun?
And no more rising sun

One step beyond the grave
Heaven′s gate, for the honored and brave
Who will die, before the setting sun?
And no more rising sun
