Edge Of Doubt

Red is red and the sun is the same,
The stars twinkled from the day they came
The sky is blue and the heart will beat,
Man always craves for his daily dose of wheat
My eyes can see and my ears can hear,
But the dreaded lies I shall always fear
The artist's cry and the logician's shout,
I try to perceive standing, on the edge of doubt

The woman's spell, the magician's trick,
The priest's sermon and the wooden stick
Each as lifeless as the sparkling stone,
But forming society's curved backbone
The poet's tale and the prophet's act
The minister's lie and his hollow pact
The flower's cry and the machine's shout,
I try to perceive standing, on the edge of doubt

The father's desire, the son's effort,
The parent duty, the lover's heart-hurt,
The fool's hypocrisy, the liar's lie,
The suicide lover's obsession to die
David's harp with it's rhythms of praise,
Lord Almighty and his glorious ways
The woman's cry and the man's shout,
I try to perceive standing, on the edge of doubt

The writer's world, the song's emotion,
Paying the con-man his stolen potion
The devil's treachery, his foolish decision,
The Lord's forgiveness and nuclear fission
The hope of mankind, the faith of a billion,
The weakness of man, the salvation of a million
The wise man's cry and the great fool's shout,
I try to perceive standing, on the edge of doubt

The leader's authority, the drunkard's sway,
Abraham's posterity and the atheist's way,
The beauty of two, but the sincerity of one,
The immense love of God's own son
The meaning of existence, the mystery of death,
The righteous God, who created man's vibrant breath,
The one truth's cry and the great lie's shout,
I try to perceive standing, on the edge of doubt
