Cold as steel the darkness waits, its hour will come
A cry of fear for our children worshiping 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 is gone, freezing up the fires
Sunrise is gone, numbing all desires
Sunrise is gone, Sunrise is gone
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
Sunrise is gone, freezing up the fires
Sunrise is gone, numbing all desires
Around the world the nations wait
for some wise words from their leading light
You know it's not 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 so free, it took so long,
It's not the journeys end, it's just begun
