Listen to their words of wisdom

Telling babies scary stories

They twist our arm, we try to hit them

Fitting truth to all we fall

But the sun king builds his heart with labour

The sun king is the face at last

The sun king drags the world behind him

The sun king tells the truth to us

Bridge

And he is black, or is she white?

Nobody knows

And he is love, or is she the night, naked inside, hiding the light

This is no goodbye religion

Hitting under true confession

No jump to order, no fear at all

No need to face and kiss the wall

The sun king doesn't care about you

The sun king swims, a lonely star

The sun king does what he's supposed to

The sun king lives for ever

Bridge

He's no ordinary hero

He's made of marble, he's captain zero
