Lyrics
VERSE 1:
Here comes that feeling that comes with the dusk
I am Hector as he’s dragged around the walls of Troy
It’s a fate the ice giants can't even escape
It’s a fate the ice giants can't even escape
Helios is riding away with my joy
CHORUS:
For my heart has been chained to the sun
For my heart has been chained to the sun
My heart has been chained to the sun
My heart has been chained to the sun
VERSE 2
It’s not that I am ruing that a day is done
Or dreading the onset of evening’s bitter chill
The only warmth I crave is your breath and your embrace
The only warmth I crave is your breath and your embrace
Their absence saps me and puzzles the will
CHORUS:
For my heart has been chained to the sun
For my heart has been chained to the sun
My heart has been chained to the sun
My heart has been chained to the sun
BRIDGE 1:
Forged by Hephaestus, it’s binding is relentless
Not a single link’s fabricated weak
Sunny days uplift me, cloudy skies set me drift’n
The constant rattle drives me crazy
Don’t wanna be play’n host to ancient imprisoned ghosts
Does anyone around here possess the key?
CHORUS:
For my heart has been chained to the sun
For my heart has been chained to the sun
My heart has been chained to the sun
My heart has been chained to the sun
BRIDGE 2:
Can’t stand being inside so I decide to go outside
Neighbors walking their dogs barely stop to say “hi”
A pretty girl’s head’n towards me, clearly trying to avoid me
I must accept that I’m suspect in her eyes
I’m just some maladroit en route to Inspiration Point
To marvel at the colors of the sky
VERSE 3:
Were I to chase the light would time come undone
Like a spinning wheel that’s wound in reverse
Pull the threads of your lace and its pattern is erased
Pull the threads of your lace and its pattern is erased
Could I outrun the star to which I have been tethered?
CHORUS:
For my heart has been chained to the sun
For my heart has been chained to the sun
My heart has been chained to the sun
My heart has been chained to the sun
