Sunlifter

To remain asleep a thousand years To go on drawing shallow breath through an iron lung Stargazer Once you've seen the things you've seen Compromise Looking down is letting go We gather all we have to burn away the dark Even in the end Even far away I know your heart beats in time with mine In defiance of all I can feel the sun And the dissonance washes over me I am purified I am paralyzed And here I make my peace We die this way All our questions unanswered I've shown you rainbows in grey But through your narrowed eyes you see Only victory or defeat In black and white Only victory or defeat In black and white You'll burn your hands and fall to ash Trying to lift up the sun You'll learn your place down below Trying to lift up the sun
