Sunset of Petra Lyrics

We've fought here for a thousand years

Seeing most water in our tears

Struggling with the desert, battling with our fears

Opposing God, paying with dried blood

Sun sets beneath the clouds

Sun sets before my eyes

The reddest bloodiest light

As if the world's gonna end tonight

A sudden roar of thunder

But not from high above

Our anguished tornmented souls

'll go up like a dove

Taming water with intricate dams

Containing every drop of rain

Rocky's the path for sacrificial lambs

Every sun ray filled with pain

Sun sets beneath the clouds

Sun sets before my eyes

The reddest bloodiest light

As if the world's gonna end tonight

A sudden roar of thunder

But not from high above

Our ancestors chose to claim this land

Facing adversities, making the stand

Struggling with desert, battling with fears

Opposing God, paying with dried blood

Sun sets beneath the clouds

Sun sets before my eyes

The reddest bloodiest light

As if the world's gonna end tonight

A sudden roar of thunder

But not from high above

Our anguished tornmented souls

'll go up like a dove

Sun sets beneath the clouds

Sun sets before my eyes

The reddest bloodiest light

Because the world ends tonight
