Album: The Number Of The Beast

Total Eclipse

( Harris/Murray/Burr )

Cold as steel the darkness waits its hour will come
A cry of fear from our children worshipping the sun
Mother nature's black revenger 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 ciy 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 ar the days when men looked down
They've taken away his sacred crown
To be set free, it took so long,
It's not journey's end, it's just begun.
