Staring at the Sun Lyrics

Silhouettes strung across the lawn

Still as the dead and twice as gone

And all staring at the sun

Burning their eyes until the day is done

And wondering when they all went blind

Man, I did nothing one mouth chimed

Yeah, well staring at the sun

Never did any good for anyone

Nothing great was ever done

Not a single day's been won

From staring at the sun

I am alone, I am alone

Last of my kind and a million miles from home

Where strangers long since seized my father's throne

Bound my hands and brought me here to Babylon

I was not built for these times

Of one eyed rulers in the Valley of the Blind

We poison the waters and the mothers and the minds

I was not built for these times

And it's all one sun

Till it's done

Yeah, it's all one sun
