Two Suns in the Sunset lyrics

In my rear view mirror

The sun is going down

Sinking behind bridges in the road

I think of all the good things

That we have left undone

And I suffer premonitions

Confirm suspicions

Of the holocaust to come

The rusty wire that holds the cork

That keeps the anger in

Gives way and suddenly, it's day again

The sun is in the east

Even though the day is done

Two suns in the sunset

Hmm

Could be the human race is run?

Like the moment when your brakes lock

And you slide toward the big truck

[Man: “Oh, no!”]

And stretch the frozen moments with your fear

And you'll never hear their voices

[Child: “Daddy, Daddy!”]

And you'll never see their faces

You have no recourse to the law anymore

[Children screaming]

And as the windshield melts

And my tears evaporate

Leaving only charcoal to defend

Finally, I understand

The feelings of the few

Ashes and diamonds

Foe and friend

We were all equal in the end

[Radio: “...and now the weather.

Tomorrow will be cloudy with

Scattered showers from the east...

With an expected high

Of 4,000 degrees Celsius.”]
