In the dark of the sun, will you save me a place?
Give me hope, give me comfort, get me to
A better place?
I saw you sail across a river
Underneath Orion's sword
In your eyes there was a freedom
I had never known before
Hey, yeah, yeah, in the dark of the sun
We will stand together
Yeah we will stand as one, in the dark of the sun
Past my days of great confusion
Past my days of wondering why
Will I sail into the heavens
Constellations in my eyes?
Hey, yeah, yeah, in the dark of the sun
We will stand together
Yeah we will stand as one, in the dark of the sun
