Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the dark of the sun
Will you save me a place?
Give me hope, give me comfort
Get me to a, a better place
[Verse 2]
Saw you sail across a river
Underneath Orion's sword
In your eyes there was a freedom
I had never known before
[Verse 3]
Hey, yeah, yeah
In the dark of the sun
We will stand together
Yeah, we will stand as one
In the dark of the sun
[Verse 4]
Past my days of great confusion
Yeah, past my days of wondering why
Would I sail into the heavens
Constellations in my eyes?
[Verse 5]
Hey, yeah, yeah
In the dark of the sun (Dark of the sun)
We will stand together
Yeah, we will stand as one
[Verse 6]
Hey, yeah yeah
In the dark of the sun (Dark of the sun)
We will stand together
Yeah, we will stand as one
[Verse 7]
Oh, in the dark of the sun
Hey, yeah, yeah
Oh, in the dark of the sun
Oh, in the dark of the sun
