In the Valley of the Dying Sun Songtext
von House of Heroes

In the valley of the dying son
I walk a crooked path alone
I came across a shadow of a man
With an angel′s breath
"Oh boy", he said to me
"I see your future
Though you long for peace
The sword is your father"

I'm thinking of you
I′m thinking of you when I kill a good man
(To keep myself from being killed by him)
I'm thinking of you
I'm thinking of you when I hold my girl
(And wonder if she′ll ever love again)
I′m thinking of, I'm thinking of, I′m thinking of
I'm thinking of you
(Wash the blood off my hands)
I′m thinking of, I'm thinking of, I′m thinking of
I'm thinking of you


Bathed in the powder of a thousand guns
I am the king of sorrows
Watered by the tears of the innocent ones
The river grows, it moves, it swells
"Son", it calls to me
"Your days are numbered
Sow the seeds you will
But I am the reaper"

I'm thinking of you
I′m thinking of you when you kill a good man
(To keep yourself from being killed by him)
I′m thinking of you
I'm thinking of you when you hold your girl
(And wonder if she′ll ever love again)
I'm thinking of, I′m thinking of, I'm thinking of
I′m thinking of you
(Wash the blood off your hands)
I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of, I′m thinking of
I′m thinking of you

I howled at the moon
Like a wolf in the night
You wanna finish it?
We're gonna finish it right!

And then I felt it with a chill up my spine
There are no words to use that truly describe
The glory of the angel or the terror in me
Tonight will be my ending or tonight my new beginning


All through the night
I wrestled the angel
To undo the curse
That′s burdened me all of my life

And for the first time I could see
That God was not my enemy
I'm thinking of you
(For the first time I could see)
I′m thinking of you
I'm thinking of you
(God was not my enemy)
I′m thinking of you

Like pieces of the sun
Our light burns on and on and on
Like stars in the night sky
We shine

I'm living to shine on
I'm living to shine on
I′m living to shine on
I′m living to shine on
I'm living to shine on
I′m living to shine on
Shine it on
