Michael Kiske & Amanda Somerville A Thousand Suns lyrics

(*Music & words: Sander Gommans & Amanda Somerville)


You drove me to play this*
It's not my song
She showed me what I've missed
I should have seen all along

Who pulled the shades down on me?
Now I see that the sky's been bleeding out
A lake of vermillion drowns me
But who's to say it's not meant to be?

You burned me down
With the power of a thousand suns
Right down to the ground
Now the ashes left are just memories

You pushed me, she pulled me
I landed false
But is it such a bad thing
When love's to blame for our faults?


Come out with your hands held up
But you're lying as easy
As you are breathing now
You speak like a loaded gun
And you're aiming at my sympathy

You burned me down
With the power of a thousand suns
Right down to the ground
Now the ashes left are just memories

So long now I'm leaving
It's sure been real
Don't follow
I don't know just how I feel

You burned me down
With the power of a thousand suns
Right down to the ground
Now the ashes left are just memories
