How do you see a sunset darker than the night
A moonbeam draped over a sun disappearing with a sigh
Who do you see when you walk into town
A hollowed out man with his head looking down
He thought that life would bring him something warm
A tiny apartment became his hardened black dorm
He has a wife and he has himself a child
He wants to give them both a vision that bigger things are around
But who do he stop when he's losing the war
The man with the peace signs who still goes to war
Who do they see when they're looking online
A hardened black man who comes home every time
Does he bring them joy? No
Sorrow and betrayal
But nothing ever stops the voice inside bringing up the details
And who do you stop when you're losing the war
The man with the peace signs and still goes to war
Who and where do you see a sun losing light
A sunset burning is darker than the night
