Back From The Edge Lyrics by Bruce Dickinson
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
A silent river flowing black
Strange attractors 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
I still have urges, I fight back
Cold decisions wear me thin
Kill yourself, begin again

Back from the edge, where you’re not worth a damn
Throw yourself into light and the rush as you spin from the edge
Back from the edge, back from the edge, back from the edge

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

Back from the edge
Back from the edge
Back from the edge
Back from the edge
A silent river flowing black   Strange attractors 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   I still have urges, I fight back   Cold decisions wear me thin   Kill yourself, begin again      Back from the edge, where you’re not worth a damn   Throw yourself into light and the rush as you spin from the edge   Back from the edge, back from the edge, back from the edge      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      Back from the edge   Back from the edge   Back from the edge   Back from the edge
