lyrics
"Blackened Sun"
Well the day is long and the night is cold
And your heart beats heavy like a blackened sun
And all this hurt and all this work is driving you along
Oh can it be
This is all you see
A blackened sun for everyone
Is a blackened world indeed
Oh what a lonely time
In a darkened mind
You can't see everything
That there is to be
Well the day is long and the night is cold
And your heart beats heavy like a blackened sun
And all this hurt and all this work is driving you along
Now even light can cast a shadow
That will last just as long as every atom
Of the brightest sun
We are one
With the dark and with the love
So what do you choose to see
What is it you choose to be
Will it be a light that shines in freedom
Or will the blackened sun keep on beating
It's a blackened world
And it's full of hurt
Or it's a beautiful day
As the sun shines every way
When the day is long and the night is cold
And your heart beats heavy like a blackened sun
Turn toward love
