Herbert Grönemeyer, Gang of Four - Dying Rays lyrics

Stop the seconds flow oh I’m too late
I’m back where I began at the start
I’m caught in the wake
I’ll have my due in drag
The rock at the hell
Nothing to lose that’s not being lost
I wish the sun and stood still
What I wanted disappears in the haze
A speck of dust
Held forever in the dying rays
The breath under me rot nothing in sight
The horizon’s there but in the night
I miss the pilot’s light control and power
Empires were built in our minds
But it will all go up in a blaze only dust
And the dying rays
