BLACK SUN

[Intro — Acoustic Guitar / Whisper Choir] Female Whispers: Light… Light… Male Whispers: Shadow… Shadow… Mixed Choir: Ah— ah— ah— Male Lead: Tell me… Which one am I? ⸻ [Verse 1 — Male Lead] I saw your shadow before your face Felt your fire before your name You walked into the darkest room And somehow darkness looked afraid I thought the light would set me free I thought the truth would let me run But every road I took away Led me underneath your sun [Low Female Harmony] Under your sun… ⸻ [Pre-Chorus — Female Lead] If you’re the light Why can’t I see? If you’re the cure Why do I bleed? Male: Maybe the darkness isn’t you… Female: Maybe the darkness lives in me. Mixed Harmony: In me… in me… ⸻ [CHORUS — Male & Female + Full Harmony] Both: BLACK SUN BURNING OVER ME Choir: Black sun… black sun… Both: NO NIGHT NO DAY NO PLACE TO HIDE FROM ME Female: I kissed the light Male: I held the dark Both: And found them beating In the same heart Choir: Same heart… same heart… Both: BLACK SUN I finally see— The shadow Was always part of me. ⸻ [Verse 2 — Female Lead] I wore my goodness like a crown Afraid to show what lived below I buried anger under grace And smiled so no one had to know But buried fire doesn’t die It waits beneath the quiet skin So I opened every locked door— And let the darkness in. Male Harmony: Let it in… ⸻ [Vocal Break — Beatbox / Bass Voice / Harmony] Bass Vocal: Dum… dum… da-dum… Beatbox: Boom—ts—ka / boom—ts—ka Male Harmony: Oh—oh—oh… Female Harmony: Ah—ah-ah—ah… Whisper Choir: Light… shadow… Light… shadow… Female: Which one are you? Male: Both. DROP ⸻ [CHORUS 2 — Roles Reversed] Female: BLACK SUN BURNING OVER ME Male Choir: Black sun… black sun… Male: I feared the night Female: I feared the flame Both: Until I learned They knew my name Mixed Choir: Your name… your name… ⸻ [Bridge — Call & Response] Male: Give me your anger. Female: I will not hide it. Female: Give me your sorrow. Male: I will survive it. Male: Give me your shadow. Female: I’ll give you mine. Both: Nothing inside us Needs to be denied. Choir Builds: Ah—ah—ah—AH— ⸻ [FINAL CHORUS — Full Mixed Vocal Wall] BLACK SUN RISE OVER ME Choir: RISE! RISE! NO MORE HIDING WHAT I DON’T WANT TO SEE I AM THE MORNING I AM THE NIGHT I AM THE SHADOW BORN FROM THE LIGHT Choir: Light! Shadow! Fire! Fire! BLACK SUN NOW I UNDERSTAND— I DON’T HAVE TO CHOOSE WHAT I AM. ⸻ [Outro — Instruments Fall Away] Female: I am not only light. Male: I am not only shadow. Mixed Voices, a cappella: Ah— Both, almost whispered: I am not the light. Full Choir: I AM THE SUN.
