Event Horizon

By Bruce Clifford 

Look at us on the event horizon

The two of us on the edge of a storm

We can’t let go as we’re stretched into singularity

The moment we show we walked past this threshold of dawn

Here we go beyond the event horizon

Time stands still as reflections turn to grain

We can’t say so, but we know the stars are calling

The back glance of a glow the burns a silent rain

The event horizon where the panic stands still

The edge of time and the last of the kill

Look at the heavens now as light turns to dark

The event horizon and the last known spark

Look at us on the event horizon 

Melodies of sounds that never were real

Dreams are halted and pasts are betrayed

Knowing there’s nothing.  There’s no escape

The event horizon where the panic stands still

The edge of time and the last of the kill

Look at the heavens now as light turns to dark

The event horizon and the last known spark
