Brand new single from UK rockers, Ocean Breed. probably the bounciest, catchiest song of the summer...?

lyrics

Closer to the Sun

Now you’re closer to the sun
And all the that you’ve done
Is burning away…ay..ay

Eat the flesh and drink the blood
With each bite another god will vanish today

Wounded by this sword of mine, self destruct in real time
And carried away

This sacrifice will die tonight, tired of it’s endless plight
The torture and pain

Ripped apart by greed and fear, can’t carry on another year
This life of disdain

Now you’re closer to the sun
And all the that you’ve done
Is burning away…ay..ay

Empty inside, burnt offerings, pulling on your heart strings
The covenant of the lost and meek

Once profane but now profound, empty voices make no sound
Like the promises we failed to keep

In this lonely darkened room, a ray of light cuts though the gloom
As you raise your head to speak

On this altar I lay you down, to feel the sadness in which you drown
Cheek turned against the other cheek

Now you’re closer to the sun
And all the that you’ve done
Is burning away…ay..ay

Na, na na na na, na na na na, na na, na na
Na, na na na na, na na na na, na na, na na
