Total Eclipse lyrics
Song information
Artist: Iron Maiden Album: Number Of The Beat
Lyrics
Cold as steel the darkness waits 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
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
Around the world the nations wait For some wise word from their leading light You know it isn't 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 set free, it took so long It's not journeys' end, it's just begun
