Total Eclipse lyrics

Cold as steel the darkness waits, its hour will come

A cry of fear for our children worshiping 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 is gone, freezing up the fires

Sunrise is gone, numbing all desires

Sunrise is gone, Sunrise is 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 is gone, freezing up the fires

Sunrise is gone, numbing all 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 the journeys end, it's just begun
