Apogee - Falling Up The Steps lyrics

I'm falling up the steps - looming up for me mighty is the force that keeps me going on The patina of time - vanished cultures pride swallowed by the strong - will keep the world go round Down the beaten track - along the guiding line nothing can go wrong until the end of time But still no light to see by swimming down the stream just threatening the abyss beyond the secure way Check it out, check it out - our well suited plan will not work without If you reach for the bright end of view things are waiting for you And the voices still refrain - keeping the vision you will remain and the echoes call again - reaching the border - rising the flame you'll never get here again if you choose to loose I sometimes feel the gap - shrinking visually As though to jump across - be managed easily But who can tell how strong the ground will be the hold beneath my feet could crumble suddenly There I'am - I finally got it made I've reached the peak of what it's worth But even here, the sight has not cleared up - it's even darker now And I begin to realize again: That's not my way and the one straight out is crumblin' away And the view - I sometimes catch a glimpse is not the kind I'm heading for and the voice, inviting me to stay gets softer every day At the time I take a look around - I see bridges crossing the gap to another world And now and then, the deeper I relent, the louder my desire moan and now and then, the clearer it becomes - my fate lies off the way And I dare to step one foot to the other side and I feel the deepest urge to step by
