- Total Eclipse LyricsCold as steel the darkness waits
its hour will come.
A cry of fear from our children
worshipping the sun.
Mother natures' black revenge
on those who waster 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.
Around the world the people stop
With terror stricken eyes.
A shadow cast upon them all
To crush like a fly.
In the Icy rain and whiplashed seas
Theres nowhere left to run.
The hammer blows of winter fall like a hurricane.
Around the world the nations wait.
For some wise word
from thier leading light.
You know it isn't only madmen
Who listen to fools.
Is this the end, the millions cried
Clutching thier riches as they died.
Those who survive
Must weather the storm.
Gone are they days when man looked down.
They've taken away his sacred crown.
To be set free
It took so long.
It's not journeys' end
It's just begun....
its hour will come.
A cry of fear from our children
worshipping the sun.
Mother natures' black revenge
on those who waster 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.
Around the world the people stop
With terror stricken eyes.
A shadow cast upon them all
To crush like a fly.
In the Icy rain and whiplashed seas
Theres nowhere left to run.
Around the world the nations wait.
For some wise word
from thier leading light.
You know it isn't only madmen
Who listen to fools.
Is this the end, the millions cried
Clutching thier riches as they died.
Those who survive
Must weather the storm.
Gone are they days when man looked down.
They've taken away his sacred crown.
To be set free
It took so long.
It's not journeys' end
It's just begun....
