Dead Can Dance - Black Sun

I can't believe that there's not a better video for this song on YouTube. Unlike a lot of the other songs on this blog, this song didn't scare when I bought Aion back in high school. That's mainly because I didn't take notice of the lyrics back then. The beauty of this song- the mesmerizing percussion, Brendan's amazing voice, and the genius of the lyrics didn't really come to until about 5 years ago. Now, this song is like instant catharsis.

Black Sun by Dead Can Dance Murder! Man on fire Murder! I've seen the eyes of the living dead It's the same old game. Survival The great mass play a waiting game Embalmed, crippled, dying in fear of pain, all sense of freedom gone Black sun in a white world Like having a black son in a white world I have a son, his name is Eden It's his birthright beyond estranged times Give me 69 years, another season in this hell It's all sex and death as far as eyes can tell Like Prometheus we are bound Chained to this rock of a brave new world Our god forsaken lot And I feel that's all we have ever needed to know until worlds end and the seas run cold Give me 69 years, another season in this hell There is sex and death in mother natures plans
