Edge Of Heaven

Actual lyrics:

I can't hold back, My hands won't let me. It's the touch of your skin, Is it lust or envy? Is it lust or envy?

I can't hold back, My pride won't let me. I'm seeing red, This is all too deadly. (This is all too deadly)

Fallout! One more taste (One last time) I just can't help it Fallout! I need it all Hangin' from the edge of Heaven All 7 All 7 Fallout! I need it all Hangin' from the edge of Heaven (Hangin' from the edge of Heaven)

I can't get up, Motivation left me. I let it burn, Only embers left in me. Only embers left in me.

My old friend, how long it's been, My original sin we meet again. You taught me to live like this, My original sin we meet again.

Fallout! One more taste (One last time) I just can't help it Fallout! I need it all Hangin' from the edge of Heaven All 7 All 7 Fallout! I need it all Hangin' from the edge of Heaven

You taught, you taught me this. I'll take me place, Amongst the angels. With my seven sins, I'll reign again, baby I'll reign again.

Fallout! One more taste (One more time) I just can't help it Fallout! I need it all Hangin' from the edge of Heaven All 7 All 7 Fallout! I need it all Hangin' from the edge of Heaven

I don't where you guys got your lyrics for this song but these are the actual lyrics FROM THE LYRIC BOOKLET INSIDE THE CD:)It never says father it says fallout. Hint hint: Fallen angels, fallen or fallout of Heaven.

It actually has nothing specifically to do with alcohol. It's about the 7 Deadly Sins. He mentions lust, envy. He claims "this is too deadly". He also says "with my seven sins". Basically, he's on the edge of heaven but he's not ready to give up "all seven" of the sins because he still needs them, he can't help it.

I think the song is about wanting to be a good person "hanging from the edge of heaven," but giving into the bad parts of yourself, the parts that commit the seven deadly sins. The 7 sins are Pride, Envy, Lust, Sloth, Gluttony, Anger and Greed. In the song, he literally sings "my seven sins." Pride is excessive belief in one's own abilities. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. In the song he says, "My pride won't let me." He also says, "I'll take my place among the angels" and "I'll reign again," which are references to pride. Envy is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation. Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body. Some of the songs lyrics, "Is it lust or envy?" Also, "One more taste, one more touch" is a reference to lust. Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work. Lyrics that reference sloth are, "I can't get up. Motivation left me." Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires. The lyrics "I need it all" reference gluttony pretty well. Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. "I'm seeing red," is often a reference to anger. He also says, "I've let it burn, only embers left in me" which could be another reference to anger. Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. Many of the lyrics can be related to greed, such as "I can't hold back" and "I just can't help it."

Love this song, great beat/lyrics. It, Wooly, Lauren's Song, and Last Night are my top songs from this cd.

Few corrections:

First verse: I think it's "Is it lust or envy?"

and later: Only embers left in me

I believe this song is talking about drinking, or a past addiction to alcohol. Jack Daniel's to be exact. Old No 7 Brand. I believe this is why the word 7 (seven) is used. "One more taste" and "my old friend" and "my original sin" are all dead giveaways. Hanging from the edge of heaven may mean that a relapse is coming (to alcohol addiction). Just my take. Great song though.

I can't hold back My hands won't let me It's the touch of your skin Is it lust or envy? x2

I can't hold back My vibe won't let me I'm seeing red

This is all to deadly x2

Father one more taste I just can't help it Father I need it all Hanging from the edge of Heaven

All seven x2

Father I need it all

Hanging from the edge of Heaven x2

I can't get up Motivation left me I've let it burn

Only embers left in me x2

My old friend how long its been My original sin we meet again You taught me to live like this My original sin we meet again

Father one more taste I just can't help it Father I need it all Hanging from the edge of Heaven

All seven x2

Father I need it all Hanging from the edge of Heaven

You taught me for this I'll take my place My mind still hates you With my seven sins We'll play it again Baby I'll win again

Father one more taste I just can't help it Father I need it all Hanging from the edge of Heaven

All seven x2

Father I need it all Hanging from the edge of Heaven

I corrected it from the lyric booklet! :D

I think this song is about having sex with someone who you used to be with. I don't know, I could be wrong, but that's what I get from this song.
