"Cruel Sun" lyrics - ALTER BRIDGE

ALTER BRIDGE
"Cruel Sun"

We've been sent to justify
Relieve the nation of its crimes
Blameless mission must begin
The chosen few of wars to win

[Chorus:]
A cold and a cruel sun
Enlightens a world so bold
If it's wrong then it mustn't be us

Tomorrow, we may never see
A sacrifice they say must be
As we fight our father's wars
We don't know what we're dying for

[Chorus:]
A cold and a cruel sun
Enlightens a world so bold
If it's wrong then it mustn't be us

It's a shame that it ended up this way
But when the day is done
Then no one will have won

[Bridge:]
When will they call us
And then, what will we do
When will they call us
And then, what will we do

If I'm gonna die
God, I pray we're right
If I'm gonna die
God, I pray we're right
If I'm gonna die
God, I pray we're right

[Chorus:]
A cold and a cruel sun
Enlightens a world so bold
If it's wrong then it mustn't be us

It's a shame that it ended up this way
But when the day is done
Then no one will have won
