Twilight
Black Sky Research Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This uneasy feeling shakes the ground that I walk on
Check the sensor readings and they are off the chart
Check the CCTV and fear engulfs my heart
Is it any wonder it ended? A tragedy of human design
A miracle we barely hung on to as we built our gallows higher
And now you’ve blown away, there’s no-one left around here to blame
You take, take and break the rules and you expect nothing to change
You take, take and play the fool and wonder how it ended this way
No incoming signal and nothing on the air
Still your message lingers and haunts my every breath
Oh these awful people who made the world this way
Oh these monstrous people will never get to pay
Is it any wonder it ended? A tragedy of human design
A miracle we barely hung on to as we built our gallows higher
And now you’ve blown away, theres no-one left around here to blame
Nobody to blame
You take, take and break the rules and you expect nothing to change
You take, take and play the fool and wonder how it ended this way
Oh I can’t look away, theres no-one left around here to blame
Oh I can’t look away the only one to shoulder the blame
Is there a chance that I’m the last alive?
Is there any wonder what went wrong for us?
Dancing with the devil for so long, I’m not surprised
Is there a chance that I’m the last alive?
The last alive
You take, take and break the rules and you expect nothing to change
You take, take and play the fool and wonder how it ended this way

Having engaged in a prolonged dance with malevolence itself, I find it unsurprising
The last alive
The final remaining individual
