Lyrics
Mother Sun
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, a good sun is pouring out her heart to every living thing
And no one cares, but while she's there, existence is getting you in
Yet every day, a piece of her is gone
Gone to give, never to return
So she sighs and slowly fries
Cause soon she knows she'll cease to burn
Mother, mother sun - Thank you for what you gave us
Mother, mother sun - I know that soon you'll leave
The rays of her, the sun had gone
The face of her upon the shore
And through her eyes this song's for the hurting sky
Recoiling in her shining self, she says she's desperately for peace
Then she knows and as anger grows, she starts to swell, praying for release
So now her body blasts the sky
Every age on her face
Then there's born by each shadow, trees reflecting into space
(No longer) Mother, mother sun - Thank you for what you gave us
Mother, mother sun - I know that soon you'll leave
The rays of her, the sun had gone
The face of her upon the shore
And through her eyes this song's for the hurting sky
Mother, please, believe me
If you ever leave me may another prove of use sending light
Since time began, through fall of man chaos has been self-inflicted
Now it's too late to talk of fate, at long last the plan has reacted
Throughout the universe, harmony prevails
For every move that you make there is an equal
For all we have done, for the total of the sum
Here is the final sequel…the final sequel…the final sequel…the final sequel
Earth shall live no more, justice will not right
Fathers must bear witness to the destruction…destruction for all eternity
For every place that's 'neath the falling sun
The age is over before their old sun take it all
To redeem from a song that brought an early fall down
Glistening, shimmering, burning a hellfire sunset
Mother, mother sun - Thank you for what you gave us
Mother, mother sun - I know that soon you'll leave
The rays of her, the sun had gone
The face of her upon the shore
And through her eyes this song's for the hurting sky…
It's there...oh, yeah...It's there....
Mother, please believe me….don't you ever leave me
