In The Presence Of That Evening Lyrics - Singles - As Hope Dies

And in the presence of that evening 

charged with meaning and with stars 

I opened for the first time to the tender indifference of the world 

as if my great anger had purged me of all evil 

emptied me of everything of hope in finding it so like me 

beyond control and ability so fraternal and in the presence of that evening 

charged with meaning and with stars I opened for the first time 

to the tender indifference of the world 

I withheld beauty so that all would be complete 

so that I could whisper a new song and fell less alone 

I gave up my insides and the only things left for me to hope 

for there will be many smiling people 

looking on the day of my execution 

and that they would welcome me with 

cries of hate as if my great anger had purged me of all evil 

emptied me of everything of hope welcome me with cries of hate
