Drain the Sun Lyrics

Like a beacon, the force of a star
It calls us, it shows us,
reminding us who we are
it knows us, it draws out the tides
and curves the trees
a power worth the greatest cost -
we need that energy

Discovering what drives
even knowing it destroys
pursuing to an unforeseen end
chasing light's dragon
replaced by an obedience

consumed by hubris
in guided movements
towards the scepter - our eternity and end
drain the sun, drain the sun, drain the sun

We would rather have our decisions
incinerate our eyes
than admit we should not have made them
travel into a tunnel we built with no end

dragged down
trapped now
in primordial impulse
limbs bound
o dead ground
without light every day we will fall

Consumed by hubris
in guided movements
towards the scepter - our eternity and end
drain the sun

Until the light runs thin we gaze upon our
own
sailing through the infinite in vessels of
skin and bone
we are the final man encased in floating
tombs
frozen and dispersed in dust while cosmic
tides consume
