Mercury Rising - Halfway To Forever lyrics

Before the ancient cultures the first birth of a sun Through decades generations and eons yet to come In a time when there was nothing there still existed time And when the human race is done it will leave us all behind The days we judge by hours the years we judge by days But looking at eternity there's so many different ways To some it means religion to some just an idea Some men can't see past today but to me it's coming clear [Chorus:] Alpha and omega except for eternity What you thought unreal has finally come to be Never say never because you might have to see Halfway to forever is where we will always be When you think in terms of what's to come and what has gone before Are you bound by your own lifetime or is there something more The only guarantee in life is a lifetime guarantee All the world's a stage an when the show's done we'll still be.... Just a tiny atom in a never ending sea The most a single life could ever be And when this world is gone for the worse or for the better We'll still be only halfway to forever [Solo: Dolliver] [Solo: Goldsmith] With a dream of immortality each man completes his tasks To conquer what is infinite he knows not what he asks To step across the border that defines the age of man Yet that is just a tiny grid in an endless master plan
