The Sun Never Rose
We have a higher calling
The makings of a superior race
Our higher power is failing
Mocking Him straight in the face
He has given us life
The first and only chance
What if he decided enough is enough
And took away the days without a second glance
We sleep in fear on our end
We walk with eyes on our backs
The days are dark we cannot pretend
Who to pray to if He never answers back
The sun never rose we split the atom
We sit in the darkness of the aftermath
The sun never rose we dropped the bomb
Our dinosaur bones scatter the earth
The custodians of the universe
Our backyard is a real shame
Open and read a bible verse
He’s calling out your name
Our future is brighter
Even if the sun never rose
Technology is moving faster
Our ego’s blinding our arrogance
The sun never rose we cut down the forest
We sit in the coldness of the nuclear winter
The sun never rose, but the poles continue to smelt
Our frozen bones like glass continue to shatter
He has given us intelligence
So we think we’re His equal
He’s the God of second chances
But will never tolerate what is immoral
Inspired by the Maetro's 'NUMB'
