Assassination Of The Sun
As you walked away
A strand of hair came undone
And was reflected in the sun
And everything was orange
And as you disappeared
The shadow of death began to run
And was reflected in the sun
And everything was orange
They have begun to celebrate
The tidal wave they think is great
The ever beating heart
That it wasn't
They have begun
They have begun
They have begun to assassinate the sun
And as you died in the night
A million stars formed into to one
And became another sun
And everything was orange
And now this horrible machine
Churns out pain instead of love
And it looks just like the sun
And everything was orange
They have begun
They have begun
They have begun to assassinate the sun
La la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
A strand of hair came undone
And was reflected in the sun
And everything was orange
The shadow of death began to run
And was reflected in the sun
And everything was orange
The tidal wave they think is great
The ever beating heart
That it wasn't
They have begun
They have begun to assassinate the sun
A million stars formed into to one
And became another sun
And everything was orange
Churns out pain instead of love
And it looks just like the sun
And everything was orange
They have begun
They have begun to assassinate the sun
La la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
