To the edge Till we all get off I will take you away with me Once and for all Time will see us realign Diamonds rain across the sky Shower me into the same realm Calculate Our embrace Hold on (Come with me now) Right away Outer space with me Once and for all Time will see us realign Diamonds rain across the sky Shower me into the same realm Time will see us realign Diamonds reign across the sky I will lead us to the same realm When the coffin shakes And the needle breaks Come right away with me Come on you'll see Once and for all Time will see us realign Diamonds rain across the sky Shower me into the same realm Time will lead us to the same realm I will lead us to the same realm
