Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Murder, man on fire
Murder, I've seen the eyes of living dead
It's the same game, survival
The great mass play a waiting game
Embalmed, crippled, dying in fear of pain
All sense of freedom gone
[Verse 2]
Black sun in a white world
Like having a black son in a white world
[Verse 3]
I have a son, his name is Eden
It's his birthright, beyond estranged times
[Verse 4]
Give me 69 years, another season in this hell
It'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 godforsaken lot
And I feel, that's all we've ever needed to know
Till worlds end and the seas run cold
[Verse 5]
Give me 69 years, another season in this hell
There is sex and death in mother nature's plans
Like Prometheus, we are bound
Chained to this rock of a brave new world
Our godforsaken lot
Written by: Brendan Perry, Lisa Gerrard
