Sun and Steel
Audiomachine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You killed your first man at 13
Killer instinct, Animal supreme

By 16 you had learned to fight
The way of the warrior, you took it as your right

Sunlight, falling on your steel
Death in life is your ideal
Life is like a wheel
Sunlight, falling on your steel
Death in life is your ideal
Life is like a wheel

Through earth and water, fire and wind
You came at last - nothing was the end

Make a cut by fire and stone
Take you and your blade and break you both in two
Break you both in two

Sunlight, falling on your steel
Death in life is your ideal
Life is like a wheel
Sunlight, falling on your steel
Death in life is your ideal
Life is like a wheel - rolling on and on

Sunlight, falling on your steel
Death in life is your ideal
Life is like a wheel
Sunlight, falling on your steel
Death in life is your ideal
Life is like a wheel
Sunlight, falling on your steel
Death in life is your ideal
Life is like a wheel
Sunlight, falling on your steel




Death in life is your ideal
Life is like a wheel - and it's rolling still

The beggining reminds me in some way of Tron Legacy's soundtracks :) This song might go really well in a trailer for a movie like Tron
