Total Eclipse (Live `82)

Cold as steel the darkness waits, it's hour will come A cry of fear for the chosen worshipping the sun Mother natures 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 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
