Píseň: Brighter Than a Thousand Suns

Interpret:
Iron Maiden
Album:
A Matter of Life and Death
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
Are you children ready for the fall


Knocking heads together well
Raze a city, build a living hell
Join the race to suicide
Listen for the tolling of the bell


Out of the the universe, a strange light is born
Unholy union, trinity reformed


Yellow sun its evil twin
In the black the wings deliver him
We will split the souls within
At a siege a nuclear gust is riven


Out of the the universe, a strange light 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


Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns


Burying our morals and burying our dead
Burying our head in the sand
E=mc2 you can't relate
How we made God with our hands


Whatever would Robert have said to his God
About how he made war with the Sun
E=mc2 you can't relate
How we made God with our hands


All nations are rising
Through acid bells of love and hate
Chain letters of Satan, uncertainty led us all to this
All nations are raising 
Through acid bells of love and hate
Confusion and fury


This body carried them down in vain
Others preach and others fall and pray
In the bunkers where we'll die
Where the executioners they lie


Bombers launch with no recall
Minute-warning of the missile fall
Take a look at your last sky
Guessing you won't have the time to cry


Out of the the universe, a strange light was born
Unholy union, trinity reformed


Out of the darkness
Out of the darkness
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
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns


Holy Father we have sinned
