A tempo a beat In the moonlight in the streets They were marching feet moving as one They were heading to the sun On the other side of the hill they saw its glow In their bones a chill, in their bones a chill It was a rhythm, it was a drill In the moonlight beyond the hill A tempo a beat In the moonlight in the streets They were marching feet moving as one And they were heading to the sun, to the sun On the other side of the hill they saw its glow In their bones a chill, in their bones a chill It was a rhythm, it was a drill In the moonlight beyond the hill A fiery performance an overbearing creation A dance a revolution an end of a nation It was for the sun It was for the sun It was for the sun It was for the sun We were marching we heard the drum Every mother and child on the run It was a tempo, it was a beat A cold moonlight filled the street We were marching we heard the drum Every mother and child on the run To the sun
