lyrics

Brave as you are in your brazen affairs
Have no worry all is lost
Lift up your sweaty hand asking the wrong question
There's nothing, no nothing to be done

The sun will come again to set us aflame
A burning sky with choking dust
Bathe your passions clean in this furnace idol
A flaming sea scorching us

The whole of our shared memory
I'd really rather not think about
what's gone is gone and not coming back

And here comes the sun again to burn everyone
Burn it down and burn it up
Forever is not now and it never really was
Burn it down and burn it up

Where once we feared a cruel god
Groping out for answers
Now there's none
Now there's none
Where once we feared each other
And the horrors of being human
Now there's none
Now there's none

And here comes the sun again to burn everyone
Burn it down and burn it up
The future is not now and it never really was
Burn it down and burn it up

Here comes the sun again to burn everyone
Burn it down and burn it up
Forever is not now and it never really was
Burn it down and burn it up
