lyrics

The King of Sun (Music: T.Hunter; Lyrics: Thierry Sportouche and Tim Hunter)

The lonely one, The King Of Sun
The lonely one

The lonely One brought us Sun
His chariot he’d always ride
And till the day was gone
He made sure Icarus won't fly

The lonely One, the King of Sun
The lonely One, brought us life on earth

[guitar solo]

But at sunset the King did not shine
His Crimson rays he would hide
For this was his darkest time
For the King searched for a bride

He could not go on alone
for he needed someone
He couldn't stop weeping
and pour us his rain
And pour us his pain

At nightfall he’s searching the world
dreaming of the Golden Girl
Behind every stars through the night
Groping in the misty moonlight
He’s flying beyond the pale
He’s looking for the Girl
The Goddess who slumbers
He hopes she'll exist

Spoken :
Then he found his sun Goddess
On a distant shore
The King’s early morning sun was rising
Venus he had implored
Have you seen my Sun Goddess?
With her golden hair
Only she can win my heart
But she must show me gleamin' darts

Goddess I need you to help me blaze up the sky
And glow the sunrise every morning
Be my Princess!

I’ll be your goddess
She said yes!
I’ll be your goddess
She said yes!

No longer the lonely one The King of Sun
Shines on
No longer the lonely one The King of Sun
Shines on

Long live the golden ones!

In the Day time they ride across the sky
the chariot of fire see passing by
The shooting stars were their bridesmaids
Râ, Apollo were their witnesses

Shine on
On a Sunmer Sunday the clouds of tears're away
Shine on
The sunflowers followed their honeymoon
Shine on
See, see them ride in the milky way
Shine on
Over Helios and Rhodos' lagoon
Shine on
Far from Phaeton's eyes
Shine on
A baby son in their rays
Shine on
in their rays!
Shine on
