'Straight ahead with an attitude is how I'd describe this one. Most Annihilator

compositions take a few days to put together whereas 'The Edge' was written in

only a few hours. The guitar riffing is quite simple (for once) which seems to

let the vocals hammer home their 'nothing's going to stop me' message.'



The edge, I'm walking a fine line

To young to be waiting at stop signs

I'm on fire and I can't cool down

And I'm ready to roll right out of this town

'Cause there's something in me you can't learn in school

They teach it on the street, it's the only rule

It's the edge

The edge, I'm dying in the classroom

Tell me why should I dance to your tune

Keep your plans for my security

Because there's only one thing taking care of me

And it's harder than steel, it cuts like a knife

It's the way I run, it's a way of life

The edge

You can't hold me down forever

What doesn't kill me makes me strong

If you can't take it, you can't make it

Out here on the edge for very long

And it's harder than steel, it cuts like a knife

It's the way I run, it's a way of life

The edge
