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
