Lyrics
Alpha Sun
Words and Music by Jeff Hayes © 2003
(I see this as sung by a female vocalist harmonizing
with herself, or a male-female duet. The vocal parts in
this demo are performed by the flutes.)
When will the Alpha Sun arise for me?
When will the sparkle of lights appear over the sea?
When will this season change once and for all?
When will I know I'm coming home to stay?
When will the air we breathe be clean under the sky?
When will the children not be forced to wonder why?
When will their dreams be free of pain and misery?
In this darkness, when will sunlight fall on me?
When will the dogs of war be free no more?
When will this threatening crimson tide melt in the sea?
When will the love we have enter the world?
When will the needless pain we share be gone?
Children of darkness, we are lost under a cloud...
Children of darkness, where's the star to guide the way?
When all the crimes of mankind stand to testify
Will our pleasures help us find a place to hide?
