Rising Sun Songtext / Lyric

On the street of villaince taken for a ride
You can have the devil as a guide
Crippled by the boundaries, programmed into guilt
'Till your nervous system starts to tilt

And the room of mirrors you can see for miles
But everything that's there is in disguise
Every word you've uttered and every thought you've had
Is All inside your life --- the good and the bad

But in the rising sun you can feel your life begin
Universe at play inside your DNA
You're a billion years old today
Oh the rising sun and the place it's coming from
Is inside of you and now your payment's overdue
Oh the rising sun
Oh the rising sun

On the avenue of sinners I have been employed
Working there 'til I was near destroyed
I was almost a statistic inside a doctor's case
When I heard the messenger from inner space
He was sending me a signal that so for long I had ignored
But he held on to my umbilical cord
Until the ghost of memory trapped in my body mind
Came out of hiding to become alive

And in the rising sun you can feel your life begin
Universe at play inside your DNA
You're a billion years old today
Oh the rising sun and the place it's coming from
Is inside of you, now your payment's overdue
Oh the rising Sun
Oh the Rising Sun
Oh the rising sun
