Edge of Twilight Lyrics

[A1]
The moon is down
Casting its shadow over the night-haunted town
Mystical figures under the silence of light

The trembling air
Drifts slowly unseen over the houses there
And echoes changing into the voices of night

[B]
(On the edge of twilight whispering
Whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper
On the edge of twilight whispering
Whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper)

[A2]
Elusive time
In limbo active in never ending mime
The edge of twilight into the darkness of day

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
