Shadow Of The Sun Lyrics - Audioslave - Audioslave

Once upon a time I was of the mind 

To lay your burden down 

And leave you where you stood 

And you believed I could 

You'd seen it done before 

I could read your thoughts 

Tell you what you saw 

And never say a word 

Now all that is gone 

Over with and done, never to return 

I can tell you why 

People die alone 

I can tell you I'm 

A shadow on the sun 

Staring at the loss 

Looking for a cause 

And never really sure 

Nothing but a hole 

To live without a soul 

And nothing to be learned 

I can tell you why 

People go insane 

I can show you how 

You could do the same 

I can tell you why 

The end will never come 

I can tell you I'm 

A shadow on the sun 

Shapes of every size 

Move behind my eyes 

Doors inside my head 

Bolted from within 

Every drop of flame 

Lights a candle in 

Memory of the one 

Who lives inside my skin 

I can tell you why 

People go insane 

I can show you how 

You could do the same 

I can tell you why 

The end will never come 

I can tell you I'm 

A shadow on the sun 

Shadow on the sun, shadow on the sun 

Shadow on the sun, shadow on the sun 

Shadow on the sun, shadow on the sun 

Shadow on the sun, shadow on the sun 

Sun, sun
