The Sun Before The Darkness
Daybreak
Strange Shapes
On the horizon
Obscure the sun
I said what have we done
Men clambered ashore
It was a one-sided, self-righteous war
'Your shark', they swore
'He is no more'
Oh shark
Since the sun has refused to rise
To wake is an unwelcome surprise
The trees no longer recognize their fruit
The trees no longer recognize their fruit
Oh Shark what have we done
What have you done with the sun
You put the sun before the darkness
Is this the winter of the fall
You put the summer before the darkness
Is this the winter of our fall
Oh Shark
Who is this God
Before whim every man is made to cower
I feel ashamed
And the simple things come harder now
I doubt my legs
My words
My every move
Oh Shark
I called down into the sea
But I have lost your soul
And you would not answer me
Oh Shark
I prayed unto the sea
To deliver you unto me
But the waters lay still
They would not part
I lost hope
I lost my heart
My friend the Shark
You put the sun before the darkness
Is this the winter of the fall
You put the summer before the darkness
Is this the winter of our fall
You put the summer before the darkness
Is this the winter of our fall
You put the summer before the darkness
Is this the winter of our fall
Strange Shapes
On the horizon
Obscure the sun
I said what have we done
Men clambered ashore
It was a one-sided, self-righteous war
'Your shark', they swore
'He is no more'
Oh shark
Since the sun has refused to rise
To wake is an unwelcome surprise
The trees no longer recognize their fruit
The trees no longer recognize their fruit
Oh Shark what have we done
What have you done with the sun
You put the sun before the darkness
Is this the winter of the fall
You put the summer before the darkness
Is this the winter of our fall
Oh Shark
Who is this God
Before whim every man is made to cower
I feel ashamed
And the simple things come harder now
I doubt my legs
My words
My every move
Oh Shark
I called down into the sea
But I have lost your soul
And you would not answer me
Oh Shark
I prayed unto the sea
To deliver you unto me
But the waters lay still
They would not part
I lost hope
I lost my heart
My friend the Shark
You put the sun before the darkness
Is this the winter of the fall
You put the summer before the darkness
Is this the winter of our fall
You put the summer before the darkness
Is this the winter of our fall
You put the summer before the darkness
Is this the winter of our fall
