Sunburst - Horslips

I come down like an eagle

An eagle from far on the sea

Won’t you set me free.

Time spins down to a standstill

My hands fill with all I desire

I can feel your fire.

I steal into your cities

And pity the sleepers who say

Time can’t slip away.

Light streams out from your doorway

Your stairway is waiting to climb

Then your sunburst’s mine.

Sun is shining on her wings

Keeps her happy, makes her sing.

But her talons flash upon the things

She needs to keep her smiling.

Prey is sighted from above

It’s moving fast but not quite fast enough

Deathly grip — cruel love

Take me to your sunburst.

Want to feel your sunburst

Sunburst deep inside of me

Want to feel your sunburst

Daylight creeps in your window

You know all the promises made

Cannot be betrayed.

You wait for me to take you

And make you a hunter like me
