The Sun Still Shines

The image of that day still haunts me now Blood smeared across your furrowed brow I couldn't believe what you had done with your bear hands Like a scene from a film your silhouette on the stair At the bottom lay the man slumped back in his chair His skin so grey and his eyes fixed in a lifeless stare The sun still shines and the rivers still flow The rain still falls and the flowers still grow The birds still sing and the winds still blow But now you've thrown that all away You rushed outside into the pouring rain Blood on your hands as you scream in vain But strangely I thought that you still looked so pretty Your childlike beauty and your innocent gaze Long since lost in that murderous haze I can't believe the evil that dwells within your soul The sun still shines and the rivers still flow The rain still falls and the flowers still grow The birds still sing and the winds still blow But now you've thrown that all away The sun still shines, the sun still shines The sun still shines, the sun still shines Shines, shines and now you've thrown that all away Yesterday's heroes are tomorrow's fools Now that you are on the front page news The pieces of your shattered life lay in front of you A tear slips down your solemn face As you stand accused awaiting your fate It's time to pay for the life you took so cheaply The sun still shines and the rivers still flow The rain still falls and the flowers still grow The birds still sing and the winds still blow But now you've thrown that all away
