Lyrics
Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade
Love is a dangerous and sharp tool, and I've navigated a precarious path in life.
Slept in the dust with his daughter, her eyes red with
I endured hardship, possibly in a difficult situation with someone close.
The slaughter of innocence
Witnessed or experienced the brutal killing of innocence.
And I will pray for her
Expressing a desire to pray for the victim of this innocence lost.
I will call her name out loud
Intending to vocalize and acknowledge the victim's name.
I would bleed for her
Willingness to suffer for the victim.
If I could only see her now
Wishing to see the victim again.
Living on a razor's edge
Repeated expression of living in a dangerous, unstable state.
Balancing on a ledge
-Living on a razor's edge
-Balancing on a ledge
-Balancing on a ledge
-Living on a razor's edge
-Balancing on a ledge
-You know, you know
Emphasizing acknowledgment or agreement.
The evil that men do lives on and on...
Reiteration of the idea that the negative actions of humanity persist.
The evil that men do lives on and on...
-The evil that men do lives on and on...
-The evil that men do lives on and on...
-Circle of fire, my baptism of joy at an end it seems
Describing a metaphorical fiery trial or challenging experience.
The seventh lamb slain, the book of life opens before me
Symbolic reference to an event where a significant sacrifice is made.
And I will pray for you
Commitment to pray for someone else.
Some day I may return
Leaving with a possibility of returning someday.
Don't you cry for me
Encouraging not to lament or worry about the speaker's departure.
Beyond is where I learn
Suggesting that learning and growth occur beyond current circumstances.
Living on a razor's edge
Repeating the precarious state of existence.
Balancing on a ledge
-Living on a razor's edge
-You know, you know
-The evil that men do lives on and on...
Reiteration of the enduring nature of human evil.
The evil that men do lives on and on...
-The evil that men do lives on and on...
-The evil that men do lives on and on...
-Living on a razor's edge
Reiteration of the dangerous, unstable state of living.
Balancing on a ledge
-Living on a razor's edge
-You know, you know
-The evil that men do lives on and on...
Continued emphasis on the persistence of human evil.
The evil that men do lives on and on...
-The evil that men do lives on and on...
-The evil that men do lives on and on...
-The evil, the evil
Repeating the central theme of the perpetuation of evil caused by humans.
The evil that men do
-The evil, the evil
-The evil that men do
