In the garden of the twilight hour

On the top of the world, looking down

Rests one with the saving power

If only to get him to drop his frown


Come down from Mount Peace and save

As there's more of it needed than ever before

So many are completely tapped after all they gave

Leaving them headed to the grave because there is no more


Living for the moment that they meet the sweetest surprise

Save them from having to see that tomorrow

They pray not to have to open their eyes

And continue feeling all this sorrow


Not that they can give up and quit the dance

Their faith in something better coming never lost

They pray for the gods above to give them one good chance

Promising everything they have, no matter the cost


Step up and help the grieved souls today

Give them what they need the most

For no matter what it is they say

They're just tired of feeling they're toast
