Lyrics Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Manfred Mann's Earth Band

In The Beginning, Darkness

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

Sunfire, sunfire

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

Sunfire, sunfire

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.

Sunfire, sunfire
