Twilight, I fall in the harbor Twilight, I fall in the hills But here in the city that never sleeps I can fall through one's fingers When the swan flies to heaven Soaring through the utmost fear There's a feeling That lingers in the afterwards Will you ever return? Will you ever return? Will you ever return? Twilight Twilight Twilight Twilight, I sit at all tables With my candles and angels besides And I shall wait forever As the day turns to night Swallowed in the shadows that glow Swallowed in the shadows that glow Swallowed in the shadows that glow When I sought out a light And I knew darkness swallowed I beseech, come to me All alone, come to me Twilight

God visits all lost souls To survey the damage We noticed a bonfire Burning in his eyes He whispered, "It's the atrocities of your story Of your story." God visits all lost souls To survey the damage And holding his bleeding heart A tear comes to his eye He whispered, "It's the atrocities of history Of history Of..." The he falls to the floor For there's many more tears on the sunrise And now we must eat those tears Now we must eat our fill Of the Atrocities The Atrocities The Atrocities The Atrocities Ooh (The Atrocities) Ooh (The Atrocities) Ah (The Atrocities) Ah (The Atrocities)

Eyes are falling Lips are falling Hair is falling to the ground Slowly, softly Falling, falling Down in silence to the ground All the world is falling, falling All the blue From me and you Tear drops falling to the ground Tear drops I'm talkin' 'bout your tear drops For instance, oh my mama She's been falling Falling down for quite some time And oh my papa He's been falling Falling down for quite some time Oh, my friends I've watched them falling Falling softly to the ground Like the leaves The leaves are falling Down in silence to the ground Is this the rapture? Is this the rapture? Why don't you tell me? Is this the rapture? Is this the rapture? Our father who art in heaven For the kingdom, the power, the glory, yours Now and forever
