Sun coming up on a dream come around
One hundred years from the empire now
Sun coming up on a world that's easy now
One hundred years from
One hundred years from

Sun coming up on a dream come around
One hundred years from the empire now
Sun coming up on a world that's easy now
One hundred years from
One hundred years from

After all, darling, I wouldn't sell the world
The way that things are turning
If it falls, I would hold on for all it's worth
The future's so bright it's burning

Sun coming up on a dream come around
One hundred years from the empire now
Sun coming up on a world that's easy now
One hundred years from
One hundred years from

The martyrs of our revolution
Their spinning caused the earth to shake
The problem brought its own solution
They power now the world we've made

After all, darling, I wouldn't sell the world
For all the gold or sterling
If it falls, I would hold on for all it's worth
The future's so bright it's burning

Sun coming up on a dream come around
One hundred years from the empire now
Sun coming up on a world that's easy now
One hundred years from
One hundred years from

Wow, I like the heavy new sound, and how it still beats Celtic within. Very interesting direction; good for him!
Obviously his voice is amazing, but I'm really digging that bass synth.

It seems to be referring to the "Sun never sets on the British Empire," but I'm not sure what the lyrics mean. Is it optimistic? Satirical? Overtly pessimistic in a way that I don't understand?
