Herbert Grönemeyer, Gang of Four - The 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 and drag
The rock up the hill
Nothing to lose that's not been lost
I wish the sun anchored still

What I wanted disappears in the haze
A speck of dust held forever
In the dying rays

Breath on the mirror nothing inside
The horizon's bare, 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 in the dying rays
