Sunrise Lyrics - Icehouse

On the edge of the bay 

A day just like the next 

They gather their nets 

And face their boats around 

Over the rooftops 

Hear the hum of wings 

In seventeen seconds 

The world explodes 

And it buries the night, a brave new sunrise 

With a sweep of the sword, a blood red sunrise 

You'll never see the faces 

Of the fishermen 

But you may see their shadows 

Burned against the wall 

And in the temple grounds 

New bamboo grows again 

As if the heat of the flame 

Had left no trace at all 

And there's a light in the eastern sky, sunrise 

And there's no place a man can hide, the sunrise 

Well, it buries the night, a brave new sunrise 

With a sweep of the sword, a blood red sunrise 

But in the cool of the evening 

When the children sleep 

The old mountain remembers 

And hangs his head in clouds 

And there's a light in the eastern sky, yeah, sunrise 

And there's no place a man can hide, the sunrise 

Well, it buries the night, a brave new sunrise 

With a sweep of the sword, a blood red sunrise
