Sun Lyrics

The first day
I felt changed
I felt removed and broken
Over man
Over God
But weak by the same tokenWherewithal
Has dissolved
A soulless apparition
Loss of choice
Lost my voice
Condemned and then conditionedI turn my eyes up to the sun
And stare ahead as if there's none
Mere cinders where my eyes had been
Forced to forget the things I've seenMy limbs move
Without will
My thoughts without emotion
Ignorant
Of my cause

But with complete devotion
I'm sent forth
To collect
Another bitter harvest
A cruel trial
To find out
Who they can push the farthestI turn my eyes up to the sun
And stare ahead as if there's none
Mere cinders where my eyes had been
Forced to forget the things I've seenMowing down
Rows and rows
Like waves of flesh, blood, and bone
Staring blank
Into space
No sign of life on my face
Empty man
With a gun
What on earth have you done?
On your knees
On your knees
For the land of the freeI turn my eyes up to the sun
And stare ahead as if there's none
Mere cinders where my eyes had been
Forced to forget the things I've seen
