In this evocative track, Lindemann explores the transient nature of existence through the metaphor of day and night. The lyrics depict beings who "live only one day," suggesting a fleeting, ephemeral life akin to that of mayflies, which are born at dawn and die at dusk. This imagery powerfully encapsulates themes of impermanence and the inevitable approach of mortality, emphasized by the recurring motif of the sky turning red—a traditional harbinger of doom or significant change. The refrain "we are in heaven but we can't stay" further underscores the idea that moments of bliss are temporary, reinforcing a melancholic acceptance of life's limits. #EphemeralLife #Transience #Mortality #LindemannLyrics
Children of the Sun
Lyrics
Dressed in sparks and light
Showered in dazzling white
We are the childrens of the sun
The nightfall is about to come
The sky turns red
A frightful sign
So we run
We're running out of time
Because
We live only one day
We only live one day
We are in heaven but we can't stay
We live only one day
Daylight counting hours
Worshipped by the flowers
Related to mars and moon
But the night is coming soon
The sky turns red
A frightful sign
So we run
We're running out of time
Because
We live only one day
We only live one day
We are in heaven but we can't stay
We live only one day
And when we die
No place to stay
We are in heaven anyway
We have to go
The sky's in flames
We're going down in purple rain
Purple rain..
We live only one day
We only live one day
We are in heaven but we can't stay
We live only one day
And when we die
No place to stay
We are in heaven anyway
And after all the night arrives
Darkness comes and eats us alive
