Bob Seger Sunburst Lyrics

Sunburst Lyrics

The crowd without a face 
Begins to fill the space 
In the arena 
Flashlights at his feet 
The lion from the street 
Awaits the Christians 
A single strobe ignites the night 
  
The smoke begins to rise 
A sea of staring eyes 
Gaze on the sunburst 
His weapon at his side 
He flashes it with pride 
Before his legions 
Fires begin to rage 
And they engulf the stage 
All right 
Bring on the night 
  
He's in complete control 
He's stepping proud and bold 
And everything he touches 
Turns to gold 
He's got girls by the score 
He's got 'em screaming for more 
But when they get too close 
He bars the door 
  
He makes his great escape 
Leaves them in his wake 
Without a warning 
The ritual is done 
A night no longer young 
Fades into morning 
The sun begins to rise 
As he begins to close his eyes
