Pete Atkin - Sunlight Gate lyrics

Atkin-James The heroes ride out through the Sunlight Gate And out of the sunset return I have no idea how they spend their day With a selfless act, or a grandstand play But high behind them the sky will burn In the glittering hour of return The heroes ride out in unbroken ranks But with gaps in their number come back I have no idea how they lose their men To some new threat, or the same again But they talk a long while near the weapon stack In the clattering hour they come back The heroes return through the Sunset Gate But their faces are never the same I have no idea why their eyes go cold And the young among them already look old But high behind them the sky's aflame In the flickering hour of their fame
