Lyrics The Day the Sun Turned Cold - Praying Mantis

The Day the Sun Turned Cold

Look back on creation
A long road to where life begun
Right from the start, we had walked all the way
The final strait we had run
Now look at the world
An image of hell that has come
The cauldron of life, now melting away
Billions of years that’s gone
It’s the reason for destruction
The nature of the beast
The devil’s rejoicing
This night that’ll never end
Unforgiving darkness
This nightmare’s not pretend
Life is just illusion
A piece of time we hold
Captured in our madness
The day the sun turned cold
The cities on fire
The world is aflame
Our prayers they were answered before
But this time we will burn
Our tears in the clouds
Our blood in the rain
As the earth lies in darkness once more
Will it see life again?
As the sun hides forever
The world is brought to its knees
The skies they will hold the ashes of time
The seas of blood, they will freeze
Searching through the darkness
The ghostly sounds ride the wind
Seeing the souls of all history gone
Kissing goodbye to their friend
It’s the reason for destruction
The nature of the beast
The devil’s rejoicing
This night that’ll never end
Unforgiving darkness
This nightmare’s not pretend
Life is just illusion
A piece of time we hold
Captured in our madness
The day the sun turned cold
The cities on fire
The world is aflame
Our prayers they were answered before
But this time we will burn
Our tears in the clouds
Our blood in the rain
As the earth lies in darkness once more
Will it see life again?
Taking for granted I made the mistake
That the heavens can wait
You were my creator of soul and heart
Now I live in your wake
Maybe I’ll be forgiven one day
But by whom I don’t know
Deserving this punishment now because I do
And this sentence so slow
Hallowed and be thy name
Seeking the road of redemption
Reach for the gods in vain
Guilty of love and temptation
Can I tell you know?
Can I tell you how I feel?
How my world has turned to darkness
In this winter here in my soul
The clouds that won’t hide away
The rain in my eyes
Forgive me I cannot pretend anymore
How we failed to hear your cries
Running away I have nowhere to hide
Searching for peace in my mind
These old memories how they haunt me now
I know this peace I’ll never find
Hallowed and be thy name
Seeking the road of redemption
Reach for the gods in vain
Guilty of love and temptation
Can I tell you know?
Can I tell you how I feel?
How my world has turned to darkness
In this winter here in my soul
Take away the pain
Take away the sorrow now
Now I’ll hold you in my mind and heart
Nothing more can be real
Forever in time
