UnConquered Sun

Posted on 20 Aug 13 Lyrics | No Comments

Verse 1
In fields of grey, a pale light
Falls like stars from the longest night.
Deep in the shadows, the burning one
Is born again – the summer sun.
Here is the babe who sleeps in snow,
Waiting for the spring to grow.
King of light! King of joy!
Returns to earth in the waking boy.

Chorus
Prince of winter! Burning one!
Child of the UnConquered Sun.
Born again on Yuletide Day
From the light in the tomb where
The sun-king lay.

Verse 2
Winter Solstice. Deepest dark –
The sword that pierced the old king’s heart.
Under the earth for three cold days,
The sky wept ice where the sun-god lay,
In stillness and in snow uncrowned.
Seeds of the feast in the frozen ground
Fall like jewels. In summer rain,
His golden light will live again.

Chorus
Prince of winter! Burning one!
Child of the UnConquered Sun.
Born again on Yuletide Day
From the light in the tomb where
The sun-king lay.

Bridge
Child of the UnConquered Sun
Grows to age like everyone.
Summer solstice. Longest day.
A golden sword where the dark once lay.

Chorus
Prince of winter! Burning one!
Child of the UnConquered Sun.
Born again on Yuletide Day
From the light in the tomb where
The sun-king lay.

From the light in the tomb where
The sun-king lay.
