Lyrics Brighter Than a Thousand Suns - Iron Maiden

Brighter Than a Thousand Suns

We are not the sons of God
We are not his chosen people now
We have crossed the path he trod
We will feel the pain of his beginning
Shadow fingers rise above
Iron fingers stab the desert sky
Oh behold the power of man
until we’re ready for the fall
Knocking heads together well
Raise a city, build a living hell
Join the race to suicide
Listen for the tolling of the bell
Out of the universe, a strange love is born
Unholy union, trinity reformed
Yellow sun its evil twin
in the black the winds deliver him
We will split our souls within
Atom seed to nuclear dust is riven
Out of the universe, a strange love is born
Unholy union, trinity reformed
Out of the darkness,
Brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness,
Brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness,
Brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness,
Brighter than a thousand suns
Bury your morals and bury your dead
Bury your head in the sand
E=MC squared you can’t relate,
How we made God
With our hands
Whatever would Robert have said to his God
About how we made war with the Sun
E=MC squared you can’t relate,
How we made God
With our hands
All nations are rising,
Through acid veils of love and hate
Chain letters of Satan
Uncertainty leads us all to this
All nations are rising,
Through acid veils of love and hate
Cold fusion and fury
Divide and conquer while ye may
Others preach and others fall and pray
In the bunkers where we’ll die
There the executioners they lie
Bombers launch with no recall
Minutes warning of the missile fall
Take a look at your last sky
Guessing you won’t have the time to cry
Out of the universe, a strange love is born
Unholy union, trinity reformed
Out of the darkness,
Out of the darkness,
Out of the darkness,
Brighter than a thousands suns
Out of the darkness,
Brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness,
Brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness,
Brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness,
Brighter than a thousand suns
Holy Father we have sinned
