This song should be the song of humanity ..... Lyrics.... Children Of The Sun We are ancient As ancient as the sun We came from the ocean Once our ancestral home So that one day We could all return To our birthright The great celestial dome We are the children of the sun Our journey's just begun Sunflowers in our hair We are the children of the sun There's room for everyone Sunflowers in our hair Throughout the ages Of iron, bronze and stone We marvelled at the night sky And what may lie beyond We burned offerings To the elemental ones Made sacrifices For beauty, peace and love We are the children of the sun Our kingdom will come Sunflowers in our hair We are the children of the sun Our carnival's begun Our songs will fill the air And you know it's time To look for reasons why Just reach up and touch the sky To the heavens we'll ascend We are the children of the sun Our journey has begun All the older children Come out at night Anaemic, soulless Great hunger in their eyes Unaware of the beauty That sleeps tonight And all the queen's horses And all the king's men Will never put these children back Together again Faith, hope, our charities Greed, sloth, our enemies We are the children of the sun
Great visual interpretation of the song. What I most enjoy about the song - besides it being the very best DCD song from their last album - is how literal and mystical it is simultaneously. We're very much the offspring of our Sun, and I believe we have a cosmic destiny far beyond our planet.
Can you tell me what all the verses about "all the older children" mean? Is Brendan talking about the animals (most are evolutionary older than humans)? If yes, then who is the queen that is trying to put them back together again and for what reason? Any other alternative explanations?
I can only speculate on who the older children are. And I won't to spare myself embarrassment :) But the whole song has a distinct Lovecraftian vibe. And, of course the last part's obviously a play on the old nursery rhyme (Humpty Dumpty), though with the slight alteration and the context, I'd assume it suggests established patterns for solving problems will prove insufficient in the given circumstance.
MY SOUL IS ALWAYS SHINING ✨whenever I hear this song, it's like I see what's me & mine! So beautiful ❤️!
We are the CHILDREN of the Sun. Thank u for the beautiful song.
really great graphix, good work. yes the dead can dance.
ONE OF THE BEST SOUND I'VE EVER HEARD
This song should be the song of humanity .....
Lyrics....
Children Of The Sun
We are ancient
As ancient as the sun
We came from the ocean
Once our ancestral home
So that one day
We could all return
To our birthright
The great celestial dome
We are the children of the sun
Our journey's just begun
Sunflowers in our hair
We are the children of the sun
There's room for everyone
Sunflowers in our hair
Throughout the ages
Of iron, bronze and stone
We marvelled at the night sky
And what may lie beyond
We burned offerings
To the elemental ones
Made sacrifices
For beauty, peace and love
We are the children of the sun
Our kingdom will come
Sunflowers in our hair
We are the children of the sun
Our carnival's begun
Our songs will fill the air
And you know it's time
To look for reasons why
Just reach up and touch the sky
To the heavens we'll ascend
We are the children of the sun
Our journey has begun
All the older children
Come out at night
Anaemic, soulless
Great hunger in their eyes
Unaware of the beauty
That sleeps tonight
And all the queen's horses
And all the king's men
Will never put these children back
Together again
Faith, hope, our charities
Greed, sloth, our enemies
We are the children of the sun
❤❤❤

Simply brilliant, buddy! Thnxs
one of the best DcD songs without oriental sounds. But the 'oriental' tracks on their ANASTASIS - album are even more beautiful.
If the Sun and Hir brothers/sisters "the Stars" didn't exist, none of this would be here.

OK... Thanks for your take on the lyrics. Anybody else?
+Todd Renje Horses are Humanity's totem. Eagles and lions are all very well but horses have walked with us wherever we've gone.

Older children that come out at night are the stars.
