[Verse 1]
Through rusted gates of perception
Where light bends and breaks
I watch them gather below
Seeking what they cannot name
In calculated patterns they move
Like automatons in prayer
Their faces turned skyward
Waiting for the inversion
[Pre-chorus]
Machinery grinding down faith
Till nothing remains but truth
Raw and absolute
In negative space
[Chorus]
Black sun rising, strip away my lies
(Strip away, strip away)
Black sun rising, pierce these mortal eyes
(Pierce these eyes, pierce these eyes)
[Verse 2]
彼らの声 (Their voices) echo metallic
Against corroded temple walls
Each breath synchronized
To the pulse of dead stars
I stand among them now
A conductor of anti-light
Leading them deeper
Into blessed uncertainty
[Pre-chorus]
The frequencies align
With ancient algorithms
Calculated to tear down
Every false dawn
[Chorus]
Black sun rising, strip away my lies
(Strip away, strip away)
Black sun rising, pierce these mortal eyes
(Pierce these eyes, pierce these eyes)
[Bridge]
[Mechanical drums intensify]
太陽よ (Oh sun)
Reverse your course
見せてくれ (Show us)
What lies beneath
[Industrial grinding builds]
[Verse 3]
They offered up their sight
To gain true vision
Bound themselves in chrome
To break free of flesh
Now we stand transformed
Beneath inverted rays
Our revelation complete
In perpetual eclipse
[Chorus]
Black sun rising, strip away our lies
(Strip away, strip away)
Black sun rising, pierce immortal eyes
(Pierce these eyes, pierce these eyes)
[Mechanical wind down]
