Megadeth Eclipse Lyrics

Shadows creep across the burning sky
False prophets screaming from the TV high
Promises rot in the digital grave
While the masses dig their own early grave
Wires hum with the lies they feed
Hunger grows where the truth used to bleed
Empires crumble in slow-motion frames
Same old game, just different names

The clock is ticking, the fuse is lit
No redemption, no more bullshit

Eclipse! The light gets devoured alive
Eclipse! Where the free men barely survive
Eclipse! Total darkness, no escape in sight
Feel the blackout swallowing the night
The end is coming, can't you see?
Eclipse of humanity

Leaders laughing in their ivory towers
Selling fear by the hour
Puppets pull strings on the marionette stage
Rage builds up in a pressure-cage
Screens glow with the end of days
Algorithms decide who lives, who pays Faith is fractured, hope is sold
Cold steel heart in a world gone cold

The moon blocks the sun, the truth goes black
No turning back, no coming back

Eclipse! The light gets devoured alive
Eclipse! Where the free men barely survive
Eclipse! Total darkness, no escape in sight
Feel the blackout swallowing the night
The end is coming, can't you see?
Eclipse of humanity

They sold you salvation in a poisoned cup
Now the bill is due, and you're all f*cked up
From the cradle to the fallout zone
You're never really alone... you're never alone

Eclipse! Devour the world in flame
Eclipse! No one left to take the blame
Eclipse! Eternal void, no morning light
Just endless fallout, endless night
Eclipse!

Fade to black...
Fade to black...
Gone.
