Fire! I can see it burning so brightly
Fire! I can feel it calling out to me

And as the sun goes down
It starts to paint a picture
Of an ancient town
So far away, across the endless sea

Lead me to the light
And take me to the edge of heaven
I am standing in the night
Looking for the edge of heaven
We'll be touching the edge of heaven

Time
Close your eyes, see dreams of tomarrow
Time
The wheels are turning 'till eternity

And as the darkness comes
I start to see a picture
Of a lonely man
So clearly now reaching out for me

Lead me to the light...

And sail the endless sea
So lead me to the light
And take me to the edge of heaven

The edge of heaven is near
We'll sail the endless sea

Ace of Base Is a Swedish pop group who scored a string of international hits in the early-to-mid 1990s. They’re best known for their upbeat reggae-tinged dance-pop songs, including “The Sign”, which was the biggest hit of 1994, according to The Billboard US chart.

The group’s core lineup consisted of producers Ulf “Buddha” Ekberg and Jonas “Joker” Berggren, along with singers Malin “Linn” Berggren and Jenny Berggren (the three Berggrens are siblings). In the early ’90s, their debut single “Wheel of Fortune” became a hit in Scandinavia, which led to the group connecting with producer Denniz Pop (who would later spawn the careers Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, and Max Martin).

After the group’s 1992 debut Happy Nation became an international hit (going on to sell 21 million copies), it was re-released in North America in 1993 as The Sign. Three singles from the album became top five pop hits in the US, including “All That She Wants” (#2), “Don’t Turn Around” (#4), and “The Sign” (#1 for six weeks). The Sign went on to sell over 10 million copies.
