Songtexte Total Eclipse - Iron Maiden

Cold as steel the darkness waits it's 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
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 so free, it took so long
It's not journeys' end, it's just begun
