[Intro]
(Instrumental: Reverse guitar textures, low piano pedal note, atmospheric pad)
(Whispered) Are you still holding on?
[Verse 1]
I’ve been walking through the shadows
where nobody goes,
Carrying the weight of the words I never chose.
Every night is a w*r against the things I’ve done,
And I’m bleeding out hope in the tears from the sun.
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t let the night fall in your eyes,
We are born from the fire we survive.
[Chorus]
Tears from the sun,
Falling down on everyone.
When the light breaks through,
I’m coming back to you.
We rise, we run,
Wash away what we’ve become.
We are not undone,
We are tears from the sun.
[Verse 2]
I saw the city b*****g,
I saw the rain collide.
I lost myself in the silence
till I found your voice inside.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
(With harmonies, drums building)
Don’t let the night fall in your eyes,
We are born from the fire we survive.
[Chorus]
Tears from the sun,
Falling down on everyone.
When the light breaks through,
I’m coming back to you.
We rise, we run,
Wash away what we’ve become.
We are not undone,
We are tears from the sun.
[Bridge]
(Instrumentation becomes ethereal, sparse)
We fall, we rise,
through the fire and the light.
We burn, we shine,
like the world on the other side.
[Final Chorus]
(Full band, huge drums, octave guitars, gang vocal chants)
Tears from the sun,
Falling down on everyone.
When the night breaks blue,
I’ll find my way to you.
We rise, we run,
Wash away what we’ve become.
With the dawn we come undone,
We are tears from the sun.
[Outro]
(Instrumental: Guitars fading with delay/reverb, atmospheric pad, single low piano note)
(Whispered) I’m still holding on.
