The day the sun refused to rise Weathered and taxed, people began to fade This was the beginning of our demise Sickened by all the mortals lies The divine produced a solar shade On the day the sun refused to rise The gods were unswayed by our cries Through the darkness man was left to wade This was the beginning of our demise On the darkened horizon we left our sighs Cold and sodding, crops rotting in the shade On the day the sun refused to rise This is the time that man withers and dies Sickened with the trespasses we have made This was the beginning of our demise Tears and broken dreams stained our eyes The Gods enforced their fatal blockade On the day the sun refused to rise This was the beginning of our demise

The Day the Sun Refused to Rise

The day the sun refused to rise Weathered and taxed, people began to fade This was the beginning of our demise Sickened by all the mortals lies The divine produced a solar shade On the day the sun refused to rise The gods were unswayed by our cries Through the darkness man was left to wade This was the beginning of our demise On the darkened horizon we left our sighs Cold and sodding, crops rotting in the shade On the day the sun refused to rise This is the time that man withers and dies Sickened with the trespasses we have made This was the beginning of our demise Tears and broken dreams stained our eyes The Gods enforced their fatal blockade On the day the sun refused to rise This was the beginning of our demise

What was it that you used to say? That one day we would all go away To a place not far from here Where we will never shed a tear? That all our dreams would come to turn? But here I am left to yearn. All those stormy days from a shore not far I would look up for that star To that place not far from here Where we will never live in fear The distant skies look so grim I wonder where you've been I just want to hear you say All those things that would come that day But here I sit looking at the sky Wondering if the day grows nigh When the time will come To go to the place where your dreams came from

Not Far From Here

What was it that you used to say? That one day we would all go away To a place not far from here Where we will never shed a tear? That all our dreams would come to turn? But here I am left to yearn. All those stormy days from a shore not far I would look up for that star To that place not far from here Where we will never live in fear The distant skies look so grim I wonder where you've been I just want to hear you say All those things that would come that day But here I sit looking at the sky Wondering if the day grows nigh When the time will come To go to the place where your dreams came from

Sleepless nights and dreary days Was this the only way? Stained eyes and rampant thoughts Not only truth has these visions brought We saw too much, we learned too fast It will never be left as the past Warped realities and dreams misconstrued A covenant is what was brewed We endured these restless nights Hoping this idea would set things right Were these trips we took in vain? Now we question : are we sane? We saw too much, we learned too fast Never knew what would last Through the light and through the veil We were shown darkness can't prevail We were given that for which we prayed Countless choices we never made We should have never played this foolish game Nothing will ever be the same We saw too much, we learned too fast Never did we guess what was cast Fleeting remnants we cannot survive I'm surely glad were still alive Did we waste our time? Driving down the darkness Searching for an answer?
