Forgiven
Daily Planet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you leave the room, now
All the lights they go down
If you leave the room, now
Heavy sky will fall down
When you leave the earth, now
All the stars will fall down

We are in heaven
We are in heaven, now
In the half light
We are forgiven
We are forgiven, now
In the dim light


When you walk away, now
You will hold the black sun
If you walk away, now
You will tear it all down

Now we're standing here silently
And the angels cry




All their little lies, all of their tears
They fade away

All their little lies, all of their tears
The falsehood and sadness of the world
