Sunflowers

[Verse 1] Bare white bones are lying, on the endless plain. Red are the fires, that lighten up the night. Blue are the bruises, that remember you of pain. This is no land for dreamers, fear holds you tight. [Chorus] Tell me, where have all the sunflowers gone? Once fertile soil is burning in the sun. Where have the children gone that once played happily? under the blue sky in golden fields endlessly. under the blue sky in golden fields endlessly. [Verse 2] Endless golden fields, under a blue sky. after the water stopped to float, they have run dry. under a burned tree, a corpse lies, forgotten. once loved by his mother, now decayed and rotten. [Bridge] Patrolling occupation troops are inducing endless fright. Piles of burning books are lightening up the night. [Chorus] Tell me, where have all the sunflowers gone? Once fertile soil is burning in the sun. Where have the children gone that once played happily? under the blue sky in golden fields endlessly. under the blue sky in golden fields endlessly. [Verse 3] Smoke-stained rubble, where once, a thriving city stood. A tank carcass, abandoned, is rusting in the wood. Men in concentration camps, starved nearly to death. Their will for freedom, did incur the dictator's wrath. [Bridge] Patrolling occupation troops are inducing endless fright. Piles of burning books are lightening up the night. [Chorus] Tell me, where have all the sunflowers gone? Once fertile soil is burning in the sun. Where have the children gone that once played happily? under the blue sky in golden fields endlessly. under the blue sky in golden fields endlessly. [Verse 4] There will be no white clouds on the endless blue sky. Warm Spring rain did wash their bootprints away. from corpses of men that once brought terror and death. New sunflowers will grow, and there remains no trace of red.
