Black Sun Rising

[Intro] (Low bass rumble, distant guitar feedback) Ooh… Ooh… ⸻ [Verse 1] Something changed in the weather Though the forecast looked the same You still sat across the table But it felt miles away Your smile came a little slower Your eyes stayed somewhere else And every question that I asked Seemed to stop upon your lips I kept telling myself It was nothing ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] But shadows grow the longest Before the night arrives ⸻ [Chorus] Black sun rising Over everything we knew Casting shadows through the places Where I once found you Black sun rising I can feel it in the air Something’s changing between us Though neither says it’s there ⸻ [Verse 2] The radio kept playing Songs we used to sing along to Now the silence in between them Felt louder than the tunes I watched you stare out windows Like you were looking for a sign And I wondered if the distance Was already on your mind While I stood beside you Trying not to see it ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Sometimes a heart knows What a mind refuses to believe ⸻ [Chorus] Black sun rising Over everything we knew Turning gold into a color I no longer recognize as true Black sun rising Stretching across the day Taking all the warmth we built And slowly pulling it away ⸻ [Bridge] I remember the way the light fell Across your face I remember thinking Nothing could take this place Now the same sunlight feels colder The same sky feels strange Funny how a single season Can make a whole world change ⸻ [Instrumental Break] (Emotional lead guitar, mournful and soaring) ⸻ [Final Chorus] Black sun rising Over roads we used to walk Over unfinished dreams And conversations we forgot Black sun rising I can see it drawing near And for the first time I’m afraid Of what comes after here Black sun rising Black sun rising ⸻ [Outro] (Band strips down to bass and clean guitar) The light’s still shining… But it don’t feel the same… The light’s still shining… But it don’t feel the same… Black sun rising… Black sun rising… (fade out) Black sun rising…
