Strings and woodwinds return in a heavy melody, followed by the first phrase of the Gregorian chant, but the melody does not resolve. Synthesizers return in eerie ambiance, soon joined by vocals and strings. They pause briefly before ending with a single note by piano. Strings and synthesizers return in ambiance, then joined by choir singing a graceful melody. The piece ends with drumrolls and a chord progression by piano. | | *The name of this song is a reference to Sergeant Forge's line, ''"Gentlemen, '''we're burning sunshine here'''"''. |
