The Sun Still Rises

On the darkest day when hope erodes
The bullets rain while the sky explodes
Hear the innocents cry as terror seeks his voice
Yet we know in our hearts
That the sun still rises.
 
Black clouds encroach and wash away
Good life that wished another day
Hear the Gods cry that evil found its voice
Yet we know in our hearts
That the sun still rises.
 
Dark storm that sweeps the heaving throng
No force of nature that silenced the song
And while the earth weeps a devil finds its voice
Yet we know in our hearts
That the sun still rises.
 
A whirlwind winding through the streets
A frozen stillness where vitriol meets
The innocent cry that no terror has a voice
For we know in our hearts
That the sun still rises.
