"Choke On the Sun" drags false light into the album's survivor mythology. Its world of rust, branded bodies, vermin, and poisoned prayer makes daylight feel like another instrument of exposure rather than rescue.
In this album, the song functions like an anti-hymn for people the light has failed. The sun is not praised; it is accused.
Music, arrangements and lyrics: Andre Willowisp. Vocals: Eira Nova. Artwork: SURVIVORIA.

In the venous black beneath the broken spires
Where daylight drowned and never resurfaced
Fetid rivers crawl with blind albino worms
And the walls weep rust like infected sores
Naked branded cattle shiver in the sludge
Their blue shame-veins pulsing to the rhythm of despair
Rats wear crowns of wire and human teeth
Feasting on the ones who still remember names
I smell the centuries of dark and prayer
I taste the rust on every breath of air
I see the maggots wearing faces
I hate the light that feed above
I see the city eating itself alive
I hate the sun
Choke on the sun
Choke on the sun
Beggars gnaw their own shadows for warmth
Children born with eyes already blind from gloom
The marked whores crawl on all-fours through sewage
Blue circuits glowing like frostbite on bare skin
They sell the last scraps of their former names
For a mouthful of water that tastes like regret
Giant rats drag chains of vertebrae behind them
Singing psalms in the language of bone
The walls remember every scream
They whisper them back when you're alone
I see the maggots wearing faces
I hate the light that died above
I see the city eating itself alive
I hate the sun
Choke on the sun
Choke on the sun
I see the maggots wearing faces
I hate the light that died above
I see the city eating itself alive
I hate the sun,
Choke on the sun,
Choke on the sun
I see the maggots wearing faces
I hate the light that died above
I see the city eating, not save the live
I hate the sun
Choke on the sun
Choke on the sun
I hate the sun
Choke on the sun
Choke on the sun
I hate the sun
Choke on the sun
Choke on the sun
