Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
We've been sent to justify
Relieve the nation of its cries
Blameless mention must begin
The chosen few of wars to end

[Chorus]
I call it a cruel sun
It lightens the world so bold
If it's wrong then it mustn't be us

[Verse 2]
Tomorrow, we may never see
A sacrifice that same must be
As we fight our Father's wars
We don't know what we're dying for

[Chorus]
I call it a cruel sun
It lightens the world so bold
If it's wrong then it mustn't be us
It's a shame that it ended up this way
When the day is up
They'll know that we'll have won

[Bridge]
When will they call us
And then, what will we do
When will they call us
And then, what will we do

If I'm gonna die
God, I pray, we'll ride
If I'm gonna die
God, I pray, we'll ride
If I'm gonna die
God, I pray, we'll ride

[Chorus]
I call it a cruel sun
It lightens the world so bold
If it's wrong then it mustn't be us
It's a shame that it ended up this way
When the day is up
They'll know that we'll have won
