Tears of the Sun Lyrics
Like a shattered mirror reflecting the past
A speeding spaceship breaking up fast
With the fragments falling to earth

My life’s broken into a thousand screams
A nightmare stage of a million scenes
That’s haunted me since birth

Once there was ‘the age of innocence’
That I call ‘the age of ignorance’
When the sun always shone

Then you felt safe and warm
Felt protected from the storm
But those days are forever gone
They’re forever gone

Falling, falling, falling
The tears of the sun are falling
Into the sea of sorrow
That will rise and overflow
And flood the earth tomorrow
Tears of the sun
Tears of the sun
Tears of the sun

The Holy Room’s closed for repair
A dark foul smoke lingers there
Is there no-one left to trust

They’re burning up inside
With feelings they can no longer hide
Is everyone ruled by lust?

Criminals walk free
Amongst you and me
In jeans and shirts and ties

The jails they overflow
But both you and I know
That’s not really a surprise

Falling, falling, falling
The tears of the sun are falling
Into the sea of sorrow
That will rise and overflow
And flood the earth tomorrow
Tears of the sun
Tears of the sun
Tears of the sun
Falling, falling, falling

I’m as confused and you
But there’s nothing we can do
Just to try to understand

Our lives are led by fools
They’re the ones that make the rules
Our fate is not in our hands

I’m looking for salvation
Stopping at the stations
Along the way

Carrying a heavy load
Down this long and winding road
Getting heavier every day

Falling, falling, falling
The tears of the sun are falling
Into the sea of sorrow
That will rise and overflow
And flood the earth tomorrow
Tears of the sun
Tears of the sun
Tears of the sun
Falling, falling, falling
