Too close to the sun


I stared at the mountain, the mountain stared at me
I couldn't hold it's gaze, I couldn't bare what I might see
Tell Mary I never chose to come but all too late
This time the time has chosen me
The fields of ice are blinding white
The crystal light so piercing – there's no air for us to breathe
Too close to the sun
Burning up, bleaching out
Too close to the sun

The calling's always been the same
To the source of light and beauty cast upon our lives
And desert hieppies, warrior monks, addicts all
Staring out from hollowed eyes
With melting wax and feathers falling
And far below the old world turning sad and slow
Too close to the sun
Burning up, bleaching out
Too close to the sun
Sweat cold upon my skin and pounding in my chest
Reaching out to touch
Too high, too far, too fast, too much
Too close to the sun

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biography

New Model Army is an English rock band formed in 1982 in Leeds. Considered an influential group within post-punk and indie rock, they have explored diverse sounds ranging from folk rock to gothic rock, with influences also from classical and experimental music. Their sound is characterized by politically and socially charged lyrics, often introspective and reflective, accompanied by a mix of distorted guitars, melancholic melodies, and a strong bass presence. Among their most representative songs are "The Hunt", "Green and Grey" and "Vagabonds". The album "Thunder and Roses" (1989) is considered one of their most important works. The band has maintained a loyal following over the years, continuing to record and perform successfully.
