Who's afraid of the sun?
Who would question [Ebm] the goodness of the mighty?
We who banish [Abm] the threat
When your little [Ebm] ones all go nighty-nighty
Well, [Gb] there's no time for doubt right now [Abm] and less time to explain
So [Gb] get back on your horses
Kiss my ring and join our next campaign
And [Abm] the empire grows with [Ebm] the news that we're winning
[Abm] With more fear [Ebm] to conquer and more gold
Red for spinning bright [Abm] as the sun
Shining on [Ebm] everyone
Some would say that [Abm] we've forged our words
And we find [Ebm] that ingenuously
Cherish words [Abm] are just words
Don't be so [Ebm] pessimistic
Weak and [Gb] girlish
We like strong happy people who [Abm] don't think there's something wrong with pride
[Gb] Work makes them free and we spread that freedom far and wide
[Abm] And the empire grows
[Ebm] The seeds of [Bbm] its glory
[Abm] For every [Ebm] five tanks
Plant a sentimental [Bbm] story
Now they [Abm] worship the sun
Even Christ's [Ebm] loving ones
And [Abm] we'll kill the terrorizers
And [Ebm] a million of their races
But [Abm] when our people torture you
[Ebm] That's a few random cases
Don't [Abm] question the sun
It doesn't help [Ebm] anyone
But the [Abm] journalists cried out
For the people who don't know
For the people who don't know
When [Ebm] it was too late to stop us
[Abm] Everyone had awakened
[Ebm] To the dream they could enter our colossus
[Gb] And now I'm right
Yeah you said I'm right
[Abm] There's nothing that can harm me
[Gb] Cause the sun never sets
On my dungeons or my army
[Abm] And the empire fell
[Ebm] On its own splintered axes
[Abm] And the emperor waits
[Ebm] As the silver moon waxes
[Abm] And the farmers will find
Old coins [Ebm] in their strawberry beets
[Abm] While somebody's on their [Ebm] twisted wreath
Someone kneels
Oh [Abm] where is the sun
Shining for [Ebm] everyone
Oh [Abm] where is the sun
