On The Line
Music: Paul Gillespie and Nathan Da Silva
Lyrics: Nathan Da Silva and Paul Gillespie

Running the final race of my deadly fate
As I reflect I face a curse taking every breath from me

I don’t know why it has to be this way (can’t face the truth)
My whole life turning into disarray (I feel abuse)
Looking back on the news I heard today (just won’t believe)
I can see my skies will turn to gray (turning into gray)

I must try to realize
Life can deal with a rough sacrifice
All my pride put aside
Knowing life’s on the line

Thinking of times where I have lost everything
This time I’ll lose my mind unless there’s a way for me to say

Carry on and be strong
I know what I have to do
Won’t be long till’ the pain is all gone
From me

Now I know why it has to be this way (can face the truth)
My whole life will never be the same (won’t be the same)
Looking back on the news I heard that day (I heard that day)
I now see my life a different way

I will try to realize
Life can deal with a rough sacrifice
All my pride put aside
Knowing life’s on the line

Steve Rothery band Live in Plovdiv
by Steve Rothery

supported by 4 fans who also own “On The Line”

The first official outing of the "what would be" Steve Rothery Band. Riccardo Romano was missing with his keyboard wizardry and no singer at all (later Martin Jakubsky of Stillmarillion). Marillion's catalogue was represented by excerpts of instrumental sections where Steve had his solo spot. This is a milestone in the forming of a great band that later became the spokesman of early Marillion era and of course of Steve's solo material. If you want to hear how it all started you have to get this Alessandro Carmassi
