Sunrise Songtext

Sunrise Songtext
On the edge of the bay, a day just like the next
They gather their nets and face their boats around
Over the rooftops, hear the hum of wings
In seventeen seconds, the world explodes
And it buries the night, a brave new sunrise
With a sweep of the sword, a blood-red sunrise
You′ll never see the faces of the fishermen
But you may see their shadows burned against the wall
And in the temple grounds new bamboo grows again
As if the heat of the flame had left no trace at all
And there's a light in the eastern sky, yeah, sunrise
There′s no place where a man can hide, the sunrise
Well, it buries the night, a brave new sunrise
With a sweep of the sword, a blood-red sunrise
In the cool of the evening when the children sleep
The old mountain remembers
And hangs his head in clouds
There's a light in the eastern sky, yeah, sunrise
And there's no place where a man can hide, the sunrise
Well, it buries the night, a brave new sunrise
With a sweep of the sword, a blood-red sunrise
A blood-red sunrise
(Sunrise)
A blood-red sunrise
(Sunrise)
(Sunrise)
(Sunrise)
(Sunrise)
(Sunrise)
They gather their nets and face their boats around
Over the rooftops, hear the hum of wings
In seventeen seconds, the world explodes
And it buries the night, a brave new sunrise
With a sweep of the sword, a blood-red sunrise
You′ll never see the faces of the fishermen
But you may see their shadows burned against the wall
And in the temple grounds new bamboo grows again
As if the heat of the flame had left no trace at all
And there's a light in the eastern sky, yeah, sunrise
There′s no place where a man can hide, the sunrise
Well, it buries the night, a brave new sunrise
With a sweep of the sword, a blood-red sunrise
In the cool of the evening when the children sleep
The old mountain remembers
And hangs his head in clouds
There's a light in the eastern sky, yeah, sunrise
And there's no place where a man can hide, the sunrise
Well, it buries the night, a brave new sunrise
With a sweep of the sword, a blood-red sunrise
A blood-red sunrise
(Sunrise)
A blood-red sunrise
(Sunrise)
(Sunrise)
(Sunrise)
(Sunrise)
(Sunrise)
