[Verse 1]

Fallen like a hammer on a solitary ark

It struck a nail and now we'll never be apart

I'm just a shadow on the wall

And I curse the ground beneath my feet

Curse the boiling sea

Curse the stars above my head

For staring back at me

Damn the whip that cracked and split

Damn the hand behind it

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Wait for me by my gallows pole

Hang around, I won't be long

[Chorus]

Borderline

Get me out alive

When it rains

I am right where I belong

[Verse 2]

I'm sorry but the voice inside my head won't let me go

I know you won't forgive me for the things you'll never know

Come back to me sweet Armageddon

Hurry up and find me

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Wait for me by the iron rail

Hold on

[Chorus]

Borderline

Get me out alive

When it rains

I am right where I belong

[Bridge]

Across the borderline

The architect stunned by his design

I never fell so hard

You'll be the axe, I'm your hesitation marks

[Chorus]

Borderline

Gets me out alive

When it rains

Boy, it really rains
