Iron Maiden - Total Eclipse lyrics

Cold as steel
The darkness wait's 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
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'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 journey's end, it's just begun
