God knows that you tried
To keep me satisfied
Your death-defying grace
Held me by your side
But now those days are gone
And I'm free to get it on
With anyone I like
Before the morning light
It's so hard to find
I've got blood on my mind
I fear the dawn
-chorus-
The rising
The rising sun
When morning comes the race is run
We couldn't have carried on
Through the years
That's why you're gone
Now the devil is by my side
Choosing my new bride
But it's so hard to find
I'm feeling outshined
My time has come
-chorus-
The rising
The rising sun
When morning comes the race is run
