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:]</i>

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]</i>

[Solo: Goldsmith]</i>

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
