Before the black sun rises

Before the black sun rises

Before they steal the skies

We’ll burn a light that blinds them

And tear out all their lies

This age is breaking, shaking,

But I won’t step aside

Before the black sun rises

I’ll be the thorn in their side

Neon chokehold, steel and glass

Eyes are blind but the cameras pass

Every street’s a loaded gun

Every word’s a war we’ve won

Feel it crawl inside my head

Every wire’s painted red

Every lie they fed is thin

I know exactly where we’ve been

Before the black sun rises

Before they steal the skies

We’ll burn a light that blinds them

And tear out all their lies

This age is breaking, shaking,

But I won’t step aside

Before the black sun rises

I’ll be the thorn in their side

Faith in flames, machine-made kings

Selling heaven on data strings

Crowds are sold for nothing new

But we’ve got knives, we’ve got truth

Feel it crawl inside my head

Every wire’s painted red

Every mask is paper thin

We know exactly where we’ve been

Before the black sun rises

Before they steal the skies

We’ll burn a light that blinds them

And tear out all their lies

This age is breaking, shaking,

But I won’t step aside

Before the black sun rises

I’ll be the thorn in their side

No crown lasts forever

No circuit runs for free

If they’ve written my ending

I’ll bleed it on their screen

Before the black sun rises

Before they steal the skies

We’ll burn a light that blinds them

And tear out all their lies

This age is breaking, shaking,

We won’t stand aside

Before the black sun rises

We’ll be the thorn in their side
