Time soldiers on And he’s walking with a gun Got a rifle to one ear, Eyes fixed on everyone It’s the bitter taste of dirt For the long night of the Earth All measured out in words Not lost on anyone
Break out the dawn Break out the dawn First light of the morning sun Break out the dawn Break out the dawn First light of the morning sun
Where the cursed city sleeps Seven circles round the keep Sound the blast of trumpets deep Then give the battle call
Well you always said Should I ever lose my way Just call your name And you’d come running I’ve been away for ages, Can’t even recall your face Oh consider this my prayer
Time like an ever rolling stream Bears all his sons away Bears all his sons away
Old cinder of a burnt out world Old cinder of a burnt out world
First light of the morning sun!
First light! First light! Of the morning sun First light! First light! Of the morning sun
