Lyrics - Black Sun by Dead Can Dance

MURDER!
Man of
Fire!
MURDER!
I've seen the eyes of living
Death.
It's descending, survival, the great mass [lay-a-] awaiting [gain],
Dave:["great mass lay-waiting game"]
Bud:[
Why is the great mass awaiting "game"?] embalmed, prayerful, dying in fear of pain!
All sense of
FREEDOM gone!
Black
Sun... in a white world...
Like having a black son in a white world.
I have a son!
His name is [
Ethan]
It's his birthright... beyond the strange light.
Dave:[* is
Ethan a biblical name?]
Bud:[
I too thought it sounded a bit like "
EE-thin," but
I am not sure of the significanse or the meaning... "
Ethan" is not a biblical name as far as
I am aware.]
Give me 69 years and a season in this hell
Bud:[possibly "another season in this hell"] there's all sex and death as far as eyes can tell.
Like
Prometheus we are bound chained to this rock of a brave new world our [god forsaken lost].
And
I have a fear, it's all we ever needed to know.
So, worlds end and the seas run cold!
Give me 69 years and the season in this hell there's all sex and death in
Mother
Nature's plans.
Like
Prometheus, we are bound chained to this rock of a brave new world our god, forsaken, lost.
