Total Eclipse - Iron Maiden

Cold as steel, the darkness waits

Its hour will come

A 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 word from their leading light

You know it isn’t 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 set free

It took so long

It’s not journey’s end

It’s just begun
