Audioslave Shadow On The Sun Lyrics

Shadow On The Sun Lyrics

Once upon a time I was of the mind
To lay your burden down
And leave you
where you stood
And you believed I could
You’d seen it done before
I
could read your thoughts
Tell you what you saw
And never say a word
Now
all that is gone
Over with and done - never to return

Chorus 1
I
can tell you why
People die alone
I can tell you I’m
A shadow on the
sun

Staring at the loss
Looking for a cause
And never really
sure
Nothing but a hole
To live without a soul
And nothing to be
learned

Chorus 2
I can tell you why
People go insane
I can show
you how
You could do the same
I can tell you why
The end will never
come
I can tell you I’m
A shadow on the sun

Shapes of every
size
Move behind my eyes
Doors inside my head
Bolted from
within
Every drop of flame
Lights a candle in
Memory of the one
Who
lives inside my skin

Chorus 2
I can tell you why
People go
insane
I can show you how
You could do the same
I can tell you
why
The end will never come
I can tell you I’m
A shadow on the
sun

Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the
sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on
the sun
Shadow on the sun
Sun
Sun
