Ophidian - The Edge Of Life lyrics

Let me tell you a story
(Madmen, orphans)
(Ex-convicts, outcasts)

Let me tell you a story
And if, after, you still want me to stay
I will stay

When early explorers first set out west across the Atlantic
Most people thought the world was flat
Most people thought if you sailed far enough west
You would drop off a plane into nothing (into nothing)

These vessels sailing out into the unknown
They weren't carrying noblemen or aristocrats, artists, merchants
They were crewed by people living on the edge of life (on the edge of life)
Madmen, orphans, ex-convicts, outcasts (outcasts)
Like myself
I'm an un-unlikely candidate for most things
But perhaps not for this

Perhaps I am the most likely

Now!

(Madmen, orphans, outcasts)
Now!

Let me tell you a story
And if, after, you still want me to stay
I will stay

When early explorers first set out west across the Atlantic
Most people thought the world was flat
Most people thought if you sailed far enough west
You would drop off a plane into nothing (into nothing)

These vessels sailing out into the unknown
They were crewed by people living on the edge of life (on the edge of life)
Madmen, orphans, ex-convicts, outcasts (outcasts)
Like myself
I'm an un-unlikely candidate for most things
But perhaps not for this
