not rising






written - 2000

collection -

about - greysteel massacre, londonderry, halloween night, 1993 (dark times)

lyrics -

problem still hasn't been solved
mainly due to lack of trust
but who could force a man
to sit beside a killer?

without some kind of fear
i could not be standing here

but the rising sun's not rising tonight
in its innocent yet torn apart world
and the rising sun ain't rising tonight
in a sky so dark i can't see the moon

and the sorrow doesn't end there
everyone watches the news
and where is all this leading?
to another grave yard question mark?

without my native land
i could never shake your hand

but the rising sun's not rising tonight
in its innocent yet torn apart world
and the rising sun ain't rising tonight
and in times to come it won't rise again

without a loaded gun
i'm the same as anyone

but the rising sun's not rising tonight
in its innocent yet torn apart world
and the rising sun ain't rising tonight
in a sky so dark i can't see the moon
