Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Dm]Who's afraid of the sun?
Who'd question [Am]the goodness
of the mighty?
We who banish [Dm]the threat,
When your little ones [Am]all
go nighty-nighty.

[Verse 2]
[Am]Well, Well, there's [C]no time
for doubt right now
And [Dm]less time to explain.
So get [C]back on your horses,
Kiss my ring, join our next campaign.

[Verse 3]
And the [Dm]empire grows with the
[Am]news that we're winning.
With [Dm]more fear to conquer
And more [Am]gold thread for spinning.
Bright as the [Dm]sun, shining on everyone.
[Am]

[Verse 4]
Some would say that
we [Dm]forced our words
And we find that in[Am]genuously churlish.
Words are [Dm]just words.
Don't be so pessim[Am]istic,
weak and girlish.

[Verse 5]
We like [C]strong, happy people
Who don't [Dm]think there's
something wrong with pride,
[C]Work makes them free
And we spread that freedom far and wide.

[Verse 6]
And the [Dm]empire grows,
The [Am]seeds of its glory,
For [Dm]every five tanks,
Plant a [Am]sen timental story,
Till they worship the [Dm]sun,
Even Christ-loving ones.
ones.
[Am]

[Verse 7]
And we'll [Dm]kill the terror who rises
And a [Am]mil lion of their races.
But when [Dm]our people torture you
That's [Am]a few random cases.

[Verse 8]
Don't question [Dm]the sun
It doesn't help anyone.
[Am]

[Verse 9]
But the journal[Dm]ist cried out
When it [Am]was too late to stop us.
[Dm]Everyone had awakened
To the dream they could
[Am]enter our colossus.

[Verse 10]
And now I'm [C]right,
Here you said I'm right,
There's [Dm]nothing that can harm me.
Cause the [C]sun never sets
On my dungeons or my army.

[Verse 11]
And the [Dm]empire fell
On it's [Am]own splintered axis.
And the [Dm]emperor wanes
As the [Am]sil ver moon waxes.

[Verse 12]
And the [Dm]farmers will find our coins
In their [Am]strawberry fields
While [Dm]somebody somewhere
Twists his [Am]ring as someone kneels.

[Verse 13]
Oh where is the [Dm]sun,
shining for everyone.
[Am]Oh where is the sun,[Dm] shining for everyone.
