Black Sun Rising

[Verse 1]
Look to your window and tell me what you see
Someone painted our future bleak, tied our hands with yesterday
The present lost in a repetition of constructed memory
Another faceless civilian caught in a tedious conspiracy

[Chorus]
I pray these visions don't come true
I pray they are watching over you, but I know they're not
I see a black sun rising
I see a black sun rising
I see a black sun rising, overhead

[Verse 2]
How long have I been laying here watching shadows upon the wall?
Life cast by a faded flame, the only real I recall
Did I drift reading Daniel's book? Did I wake to an angel's call?
All life must fall before another world can be born

[Chorus]
My vision is faded, I cannot see
Burnt-out ashes of prophecy
Are there angels watching me
With their compassionate gaze so patiently
I know there’s not
I see a black sun rising
I see a black sun rising
I see a black sun rising, overhead

[Outro]
I see a black sun rising
I see a black sun rising
I see a black sun rising, overhead
