The Threshold
I stand on the threshold, in front of the gate
my thoughts are raging inside
Should I go forward, determine my fate?
or should I run back and hide?
The road's been easy up until now
A few wrong turns on the way
Should I keep going? I don't know how
But if I don't, what will they say?
On this side is everything that I know
It's everything that I am
If I cross over, where will I go?
and can I come back again?
If I turn back, will things still be the same?
So much uncertainty
So many questions, so little time
Noone to answer but me
The time has come now
The die is now cast
My choice to lose or to win
I open the gate...
Step into the abyss...
Now let the game begin!
