Seventh Sun Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A child is born, a man has died
A mother sings a lullaby
The world belongs to the young ones
Take your dreams and find the seventh sun

[Verse 2]
A blackbird sings a melody
As innocent as it can be
Your inner freedom's shining on
Take your love and find the seventh sun

[Pre-Chorus]
Your innermost freedom's shining on
To lead the way to the seventh sun

[Chorus]
Sun is throwing shadows
You're burning if you come too close
Even if your soul is old
A million years
Time traveler, here and now
The ones who are gone are still around
Your heart and soul will be one
In the seventh sun
In the seventh sun
In the seventh sun
[Post-Chorus]
Your inner freedom's shining on
To lead the way to the seventh sun

[Verse 3]
A child is born, a man has died
A time-old joy for time to cry
The voice of love's the only one
Your soul will always shine in the seventh sun
In the seventh sun
In the seventh sun
In the seventh sun

[Pre-Chorus]
Your innermost freedom's shining on
To lead the way to the seventh sun

[Chorus]
Sun is throwing shadows
You're burning if you come too close
Even if your soul is old
A million years
Time traveler, here and now
The ones who are gone are still around
Your heart and soul will be one
In the seventh sun
[Pre-Chorus]
Your innermost freedom's shining on
To lead the way to the seventh sun

[Chorus]
Sun is throwing shadows
You're burning if you come too close
Even if your soul is old
A million years
Time traveler, here and now
The ones who are gone are still around
Your heart and soul will be one
In the seventh sun
In the seventh sun
In the seventh sun
Yeah, in the seventh sun
Oh yeah, in the seventh sun
In the seventh sun

What did Scorpions say about "Seventh Sun"?
Genius Answer

Klaus Meine:

When our friend from Athens said in 2018 that we should make another album like Blackout or Love at First Sting or Lovedrive, automatically you think about songs like “Animal Magnetism” or “China White”. They’re very heavy, but they have this kind of laidback feeling. So we were focused on this, and then Rudy came up with this heavy riff in “Seventh Sun” that carries the whole song. It’s in the best tradition of those big classic songs.
