Total Eclipse
Cold as steel the darkness waits
Its hour will come
Cry of fear from our children
Worshipping the sun
Mother nature's black revenge
On those who waste her life
War babies in the garden of Eden
Shall turn our ashes to ice
Sunrise has gone
Freezing up the fires
Sunrise has gone
Numbing our desires
Sunrise has gone
Sunrise has gone
Around the world the people stop
With terror stricken eyes
A shadow cast upon them all
To crush them like a fly
In the icy rain and whiplashed seas
There's nowhere left to run
The hammer blows of winter fall
Like a hurricane
Sunrise has gone
Freezing up the fires
Sunrise has gone
Numbing our desires
Around the world the nations wait
For some wise words from their leading light
You know, it's not only madmen who listen to fools
"Is this the end?" The millions cried
Clutching their riches as they died
Those who survive must weather the storm
Gone are the days when man looked down
They've taken away his sacred crown
To be so free, it took so long
It's not journey's end
It's just begun
Its hour will come
Cry of fear from our children
Worshipping the sun
Mother nature's black revenge
On those who waste her life
War babies in the garden of Eden
Shall turn our ashes to ice
Sunrise has gone
Freezing up the fires
Sunrise has gone
Numbing our desires
Sunrise has gone
Sunrise has gone
Around the world the people stop
With terror stricken eyes
A shadow cast upon them all
To crush them like a fly
In the icy rain and whiplashed seas
There's nowhere left to run
The hammer blows of winter fall
Like a hurricane
Sunrise has gone
Freezing up the fires
Sunrise has gone
Numbing our desires
Around the world the nations wait
For some wise words from their leading light
You know, it's not only madmen who listen to fools
"Is this the end?" The millions cried
Clutching their riches as they died
Those who survive must weather the storm
Gone are the days when man looked down
They've taken away his sacred crown
To be so free, it took so long
It's not journey's end
It's just begun
