Lyrics
Upon the precipice
Standing at a critical point or moment
of life and death
Between existence and death
I spoke the vow
Making a solemn promise or commitment
And took what I thought was my final breath
Experiencing what was believed to be the last breath
With nothing left to lose
Having nothing more to lose
I fought like a man possessed
Fighting with an intense determination
And that imbued me with a superhuman strength
Resulting in an extraordinary strength
That reversed my fate
Reversing the expected outcome or destiny
And delivered me victorious to your gates
Being delivered triumphantly to a significant place or person
A new light was cast upon your sacred face
Seeing a new perspective or understanding of someone sacred
Triumphant
Achieving victory
Before the throne of your grace
In front of the throne representing divine favor
I swore upon the gods and every friend
Pledging an oath to deities and companions
I’d never let that fear rule me again
Committing to overcoming fear and not letting it control
I swore upon the gods and every friend
Reiterating the commitment to resist fear
I’d never let that fear rule me again
Reaffirming the determination to avoid being ruled by fear
All the mysteries
Referring to all the hidden or unknown aspects
That you unfold
Unveiling and disclosing information
And the telling
Sharing details that cannot be unheard or unknown
The revealing that can't be untold
Describing the fear that binds one in mortal existence
the fear that holds you in your mortal strain
Being tied to fear, which sustains spiritual suffering
is the tether that keeps your spirit in its pain
Acting as a connection to sensory experiences
bound to the senses
Restricted by the physical senses
you cannot see salvation of the inner light
Unable to perceive the salvation offered by inner enlightenment
a new path unfolds and calls you to your place
A new life path unfolding and beckoning to one's destiny
Resplendent
Glorious and splendid
Before the hour of your soul’s embrace
Prior to the critical moment of the soul's acceptance
Why won’t you fight the fear?
Questioning why one doesn't confront or resist fear
Even if I know I can’t erase the tears
Even with the knowledge that tears cannot be erased
Thinking back upon all of these wasted years
Reflecting on wasted years and experiences
I never knew how close I was to void
Unaware of the proximity to emptiness or despair
And even if I see this is the end my dear
Accepting the potential end with a loved one
And even if I see this is the end
Reiterating the acknowledgment of a possible end
I swear upon the gods and every friend
Committing once again to resist being ruled by fear
I’ll never let that fear rule me again
Reaffirming the pledge to not let fear dictate actions
