[Intro]
Heavy eyes on the road of life
Cities pass me by like a flash of who I used to be
The sky is bleeding but I cannot see
Ironically you spoke about painting my picture and colouring me in
But the picture you drew didn't include me, it was only you
I guess I'm just so fucking tired
It's like I'm daydreaming at night and sleepwalking at day
I can't find my pace nor the strength to stay
You always said I should be open, honest and sincere
I guess this is a start
So for the next 40 minutes, I will speak from the heart
And the truth is, maybe I don't deserve to be happy
Light up the darkness!
[Verse 1]
Everywhere I turn, I see landscapes in grey
It's a colourless world when the blind lead the way
Our endeavours won't carry us back
The essence of hope still lies on the track
Will we see a new day in this dead and filthy world?
I hear the sound of a thousand screams
Break through the silence of shattered dreams
Don't ever stray from the path they say
Don't you diverge from the masses
[Chorus]
I have seen the rise of a thousand suns in front of me
But I never felt the warming touch from the sky above me
I have seen the rise of a thousand suns in front of me
But I never felt the warming touch from the sky above me
Will the dark clouds swallow me?
Will the dark clouds swallow me?
[Verse 2]
I feel the sickness of this world feeding on me
My horizon will fade away
Light of tomorrow come today
And as the sun slowly sets tonight
I feel the dark clouds swallow me
A last string of hope gets buried
Death runs in my black veins
Death runs in my black veins
[Chorus]
I have seen the rise of a thousand suns in front of me
But I never felt the warming touch from the sky above me
Will the dark clouds swallow me?
Will the dark clouds swallow me?
[Outro]
Let the light of tomorrow come today
We've been hanging on forever on a spark that never came
Let the light of tomorrow come today
We've been hanging on forever on a spark that never came
Let the light of tomorrow come today
We've been hanging on forever on a spark that never came
Let the light of tomorrow come today
We've been hanging on forever on a spark that never came
