The sun rising from the west

Down on your knees

Begging for forgiveness

This church full of empty pews

Who will hear your prayers

Pouring the anguish into your hands

Innocent hands stained with blood

Let it slip from your fingers

 

Darling, this life is in the business of misery

I'm sorry honey, I never meant to break it to you

But, we've got one more second chance to take

One wild dream left to brag about

 

The curtains of the sky are pulling down

Last act wrapping up

I've waited a thousand long lives to see this moment

God, it feels so good

A million eternal nights finally breaking down

The sun rising at last, it could be the end

The sun rising at last, it could…

 

All this time we missed the smiles

Hidden in the shadows that never changed

But, all that's coming to an end now

All this time we missed the happiness

Stolen by the dark in the dead of night

End of the line, time to get off, just watch

Just watch and see, the daylight coming back

 

People running the streets, look this way

We might know what's going to happen next

They don't care, neither do I

God, it just feels so good

Warmth touching our skin at last

Come out of your houses

Look out the window at the new dawn

We've got it right where we want it

All our dreams coming true

Forgiveness raining down on you

 

Feel my hands coming down on you

It's easy if you do it right

Taking all that away

Hearing all your pain in my fingertips

Just give it to me

Just give…

 

All this time we missed the smiles

Hidden in the shadows that never changed

But, all that's coming to an end now

All this time we missed the happiness

Stolen by the dark in the dead of night

End of the line, time to get off, just watch

Just watch and see, the daylight coming back

 

Feel my hands coming down on you

It's easy if you do it right

Taking all that away

Hearing all your pain on my fingertips

Just give it to me

Just give…

The sun rising at last

The sun rising at last, it could…
