Epiphany

"Did you ever walk up
to the edge of a cliff,
stare into the abyss
as your mind wonders if
you should take one more step
further into that night.
Well your mind says you won't
but your heart says you might.
Would you fall through the dark,
feel the wind in your hair?
Would you embrace the ground
and end your life right there?
Or would God reach his hand
and that moment you fly?
Or if he chanced to blink
and then, that moment you die..."
-"Epiphany", part 2, Trans Siberian Orchestra

Hmm.... strangely enough, it seems whenever I'm lying in the snow / on the ground / being-all-cheesily-philosophical-and-"in-tune"-with-the-universe, this song tends to run through my mind.....

"Come one, come all!
Welcome to the world's greatest entertainment since the fall of Rome!
Life! Death! Victims! Voyeurs! The best of society! The lowest of plebeians!
And to keep it all extremely interesting, today's patrons could very easily be tomorrow's entertainment.
All compliments of the ultimate showman--Fate!
All that's missing...is the Coliseum!"
