Manfred Mann’s Earth Band
In the Beginning, Darkness
[Chorus]
Darkness, darkness
Darkness in the beginning
Solar light, warm as ice
Started everything living
Lightning striking
Every life springs from light
From the waters come swimming

[Refrain]
Sunfire
Sunfire

[Verse]
Silence
Silence in the beginning
Silent sound fills the ground
All the oceans are singing
Thunder roaring
Came the word, something stirred
Set the wheel of life spinning

[Refrain]
Sunfire
Sunfire
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Darkness, darkness
Darkness in the beginning
Solar light, warm as ice
Started everything living
Lightning striking
Every life springs from light
From the waters come swimming

[Refrain]
Sunfire
Sunfire
