Black 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.
Don't you hit that defenseless child
What gives you that empty right?
Carry that for the rest of your life
Carry that for the rest of time
Did they hold you down?
Oh, yeah
Did they push you around?
Oh, yeah, yeah
Burning in the black sun
Like a jackle on the run, well
Burning in the black sun
Burning up in the black sun, whoa yeah
Rotten apples every one, ay
Look at them
Look at them run
Guilty now for what they have done
Did they hold you down?
Whoa yeah, yeah
Did they push you around?
Whoa yeah, yeah
Burning in the black sun
Like a dog on the run
Burning in the black sun
Well, the time has finally come, whoa yeah
Black sun
It's like a jackel on the run, whoa yeah
Burning in the black, the black sun
Caught their vein, you've gone insane
You've lost your mind, you're not my kind
I hate your soul, you kill my fun
You did no good, you better run
Gonna get you down, gonna put you down
Gonna stick you in the ground
Gonna stick you in the ground
Gonna make you
Oh, gonna make you, whoa
Burning in the black sun, black sun
Burning in the black sun, black sun, black sun
Don't you hit that defenseless child
What gives you that empty right?
Burning in the black sun, black sun, black sun, black sun, black sun
Like a dog on the run
Burning in the sun
Burning in the black sun
Black, black sun
Black, black, black, black sun
Yeah, you were a bully
The universal bullies
Ha ha ha
Who's laughing at you now?
Who's laughing at you now?
You ain't got no hold on me
You ain't got no piece of me
You are lost in your own mind
Yes you are you're declining in
Oh, yeah, yeah, black sun
Burning in the black sun, black sun, black sun, whoo
Yeah-yeah, black sun
The black sun
Burning in a black sun, black sun, black sun, yeah
