Standing on the edge of a different stage
Looking back at where we came from
Right on the brink of a seismic change
When will we finally cross that line?

But the planet's rotating, so no hesitating
As the time advances, now is the time to take chances
Nothing can stop us, till we are on the top of it all

Straight unto the breach
On, dear friends, once more
One foot in front of the other
There's no running for cover
We'rе taking the next step

Now clеnch your teeth, with your nostrils wide
Clench up your fists, shut tight your eyes
Fight back the fear that is in your mind
Hold hard your breath, stand up full-size

Straight unto the breach (one foot in front of the other)
On, dear friends, once more (there's no running for cover)
This feeling is rising inside
We know that we're doing the right thing
We're taking the final step

Forging ahead from what came before
No one's saying it was bad, but there's better things in store
Time to move on from all those yesterdays
Well the purpose was pure, but you've been driving for too long
Now it's time for something new

It can be hard to close the door
On something you've made when you've invested so much love
But if you draw the line at the proper time
If you don't ignore the signs then you can look back with pride
Now it's time to say goodbye

(Straight unto the breach) End one chapter and open the next
(On, dear friends, once more) It's time to call time with respect
(Making a new start) Take a moment to catch up your breath
(Taking the next step)

Progress is slow, but we're getting there
Each step comes easier than the last
Stiffen your sinews, summon up the blood
You'll soon be running with the stars

Straight unto the breach (one foot in front of the other)
On, dear friends, once more (there's no running for cover)
We know we're doing the right thing
Even though it is frightening
We're taking the ultimate step
