Days in the Sun

We built a nation
Erected grand creations
Witnessed for miles
Towering monoliths
Scraping towards the sun
I watched them roll in
There was no ebb
Just flowing
A final tide
Relentless behemoths now dominate our sky
No use in waiting for the sky to clear
All these masses of dark
Simply won't disappear
No light will sever these clouds
City we built is shrouded now
Nothing we can do about it
We've lost our days in the sun
I won't be waiting for the rain to stop
It won't
We've lost our days in the sun

It beggars reason
To see no change in season
They won't subside
Relentless behemoths now dominate our sky
I'm packed and leaving
I will be out there seeking
Another place
Where towering monoliths still kiss a gleaming sun
No use in waiting for the sky to clear
All these masses of dark
Simply won't disappear
No light will sever these clouds
City we built is shrouded now
Nothing we can do about it
We've lost our days in the sun
I won't be waiting for the sky to clear
It won't
We've lost our days in the sun

And it makes me wonder
If I'll ever see the sun again
Now I'm off to wander
Because I want to see the sun again
No light will sever these clouds
City we built is shrouded now
Nothing we can do about it
We've lost our days in the sun
I won't be waiting for the rain to stop
It won't
We've lost our days in the sun
I won't be waiting for the sky to clear
It won't
We've lost our days in the sun
Days in the sun
Days in the sun
Days in the sun
Days in the sun
Days in the sun
