Story Behind The Song
This is history.... Thank God! When this song was written, I had been let down by a business partner, and was also feeling disillusioned by religion.
It is just a statement made in 2004, but still holds up as a strong reminder of how things used to be.
Song Description
Progressive and intense, yet melodic... Song about being let down and being resigned to the fact that we turn a blind eye to injustice, and carry on with life blindly. Underlying feeling of resigned confusion.

Lyrics
Standing on the edge of time,
Not knowing where the wind will take me
I thought I knew which way to go
Vanity and greed forsake me
I thought I knew who to trust
And everything was clearly written
Another dream has turned to dust
Another friend is smitten
CH. And honesty cannot be trusted
Forever change the minds of man
And life's illusions cover (shadow) the truth
So we bury our heads in the sand
Standing on the edge of darkness
Cannot see the light behind
I looking out across the void
I strain my eyes but they are blind
CH.
So we bury our heads in the sand.
