In the valley of the dying sun   I walk a crooked path alone   I came across the shadow of a man   With an angel's breath      'O boy' he said to me   'I see your future'   'Though you long for peace   The sword is your father      I'm thinking of you   I'm thinking of you when I kill a good man   To keep myself from being killed by him   I'm thinking of you   I'm thinking of you when I hold my girl   And wonder if she'll ever love again   I'm thinking of you   Wash the blood off my hands      Bathed in the powder of a thousand guns   I am the king of sorrows   Watered by the tears of the innocent ones   The river grows   It moves   It swells      'Son' It calls to me   'Your days are numbered   Sow the seeds you will   But I am the reaper'      'I'm thinking of you   I'm thinking of you when you kill a good man   To keep yourself from being killed by him   I'm thinking of you   I'm thinking of you when you hold your girl   And wonder if she'll ever love again   I'm thinking of you   Wash the blood off your hands'      I howled at the moon like a wolf in the night   You want to finish it   We're gonna finish it right      And then I felt it with a chill up my spine   There are no words to use that truly describe   The glory of the angel or the terror in me   Tonight will be my ending or tonight my new beginning      All through the night   I wrestled the angel   To undo the curse   That's burdened me all of my life      And for the first time I could see   That God was not my enemy      "I'm thinking of you"      Like pieces of the sun   Our light burns on and on and on   Like stars in the night sky we shine   I'm living to shine on
