Dead Can Dance - Children Of The Sun Lyrics
We are ancients
As ancient as the sun
We came from the ocean
Once our ancestral home
So that one day
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 is room for everyone
Sunflowers in our hair
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
We are the children of the sun

Dead Can Dance Children Of The Sun Comments
Love this his voice reminds me of Jim Morrison from the Doors.
I want to invite all of my brothers and sisters who read this to read The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ. Thank you
Midsommar brought me here
Children of the Bum?
Getting a sort of Doors vibe from this… love it.

Here it is the history and fate of humankind in 7+ minutes...
Fantabulous magnifico !
things could be so different humans...
Whe are the children of the sun ,enough said 😎😎😎
5834 years living on this planet, and I still cannot understand how a human mind with a immortal soul could write and make a song like this!!
Dead Can Really Dance !!! Takes me to another time and diimention, love their music , AWSOME 😎🎶🎶🎶✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼😝
I definitely belong to this other world where Dead Can Dance comes from.
I didn't really like the homeless king thing 👑, so I stayed parked in a -
"low shelf.". That way I can rule both kingdoms and have to go through that messy bs. Csl. Hi, everyone! That was about ten years ago...pbbbbt.
Schizophrenia really sucks!
I feel like watching Dune when listening to this.
Such a good taste, this song is so beautyful the sounds are perfect.
Divine.
timeless classic
♥️♥️♥️🌞
I love you forever Sandra Maxwell. Crescent City California September 2015

Dear starseeds, someday we will return to the stars, where we really belong. Keep spreading love. Stay strong.
I absolutely love the song the music fantastic and we are made of everything around us science has proof of that
You don't have to be a New Ager or hippie to like this. Heathens like it, too, or really anyone who appreciates the Sun. We are children of the Sun (represented by the Swastika, Sun Cross, etc.). Sorry vampires.
I met a Girl. Im from Arkansas. She's from San Francisco. We met in Portland. Drove south. Took us five days to drive 7 hours. The time of our lives. She feed me acid in a beach side motel in Crescent City California. And played me this song. The next day we got in a fight and I hitch hiked. To Laytonville. Caught a bus , a train, and 3 different trams thru Napa /Sonoma to San Fran airport. That was 3 years ago. We haven't spoken since. Sandra Maxwell from San Francisco I still love you.
..υπέροχο κομμάτι....
I like this. Am I a hyppie?
I can hear Jim Morrison at The End in 5.22 ! .Listen
Masterpiece!! 💓💓💓💓💓
Sensational track, joyful and sad at the same time.
Musica e um termo banal para classificar este som, que sabe la de onde Dead can Dance tirou. Soberbo !
♥♥♥♥♥♥

Coisa fina.

Notice this song begins the same way as their earlier song, “The Carnival is Over”?
Just discovered this a couple of days ago and it is divine. I absolutely LOVE his voice. And the instrumentation is beautiful. Makes my heart pound.
We are the children of Scott Walker.
We're star dust, from suns that preceded our Sun, and supernovas who spilled their entrails across the emptiness of space through cataclysmic explosions, seeding it with heavier elements which, ultimately, made life possible.
So true ❤
I like to think that that anemic, soulless older children with great hunger in their eyes are black holes, with the pulsing string section in that part of the song connoting cycling pulsars.

geil ................
This is like sex; long forplay, orgasm, short afterplay. Brilliant!
Like opium and more!
We are ancients
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 is room for everyone
Sunflowers in our hair
Throughout the ages
Of iron, bronze, and stone
We marveled 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 suns 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
Anemic, 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
We are the children of the sun
dead can dance gracias por su hermosa musica
Incredible song.
am I just overthinking it or is this song about akenhaten?
We're CHILDREN OF THE SUN. ALL OF US. If we could just remember that.
I love that she will always Exert My Influence... Ask me more...
Me encanta desde hace años, no me importa lo que digan los demas....
Dead Can Dance will always be an all-time favourite of mine. Heavenly and dark, subtle and overwhelming all at once.
Felipe Zava yes. so much yes.
Отличный снгл
DAYMAN
FIGHTER OF THE NIGHTMAN
soberbia y majestuosa
eu adoro esta cançao..
play CHOIR's "Om So Hum" while also playing this and you will experience something even more divine...if anyone may dare think such possibilities may be actualized! Try it. Wow!
Amare questa canzone significa sentirla 10 volte al giorno.
Cette chanson est le plus meilleure que The Doors. C'est très convivial avec beacoup de atmosphère. La bande Alcest que me invité à l'écouter.
I always wondered what "Spock" listened to ! Edited reply, 1984?
B. E. A. U. T. I. F. U. L
This is people, this is music.
I think this is a great song and also - to me - quite a dark one! The words could equally be those spoken by a sinister new age cult leader e.g. Heaven's Gate. The sunflowers on the album cover don't look very cheerful.
I've always felt it's loosely based on the downfall of the Mayans or Aztecs
The sun of awareness
children of Lucifer (Lucifer does not symbolize evil, but sun father)
I guess you could just avoid the comment altogether then since they're the same thing, right?:)
Timeless Live on stage
Probably my favourite track from "Anastasis", and perhaps the most impressive piece ever recorded by Dead Can Dance.
Brendan Perry is like THE VOICE of the Cosmos......
I get goosebumps every single time I listen to this tune
A hymn for space-faring hippies :)
Have a beautiful trip
Awesome music of soul nomads...
Al increible hombre que me hizo escuchar esta canción Gracias
太陽礼讃🌞
oçocuğu ddoscu
simplesmente maravilhoso
Anybody knows what they are talking about regarding "older children" who are "anemic, soulless?" Always baffled me.
Alex D I always thought it was a reference to a loss of innocence, how as we grow older and closer to death we crave more of everything, but so much less seems to appease us than when we were 8 years old doesn't it
what a great song indeed!!!!!! And yes is true.. We are the children of the SUN.
so beautiful, passion within words

I adore this man's music. It's so unreal.
Its a team. not a guy.
A girl ans a man 😁
LOVE, the best!!!
Hermosa Sinfonía al iniciar la canción me encanta y me desconecta durante los 34 segúndos que dura del resto mundano.
A great inspiration of mine... Please keep making albums DCD! :)
