Two Suns In the Sunset

In my rear view mirror, the sun is goin' down

Sinking behind bridges in the road

I think of all the good things that we have left undone

And I suffer premonitions, confirm suspicions of the holocaust to come

The rusty wire that holds the cork that keeps the anger in

Gives way, and suddenly it's day again

The sun is in the east even though the day is done

Two suns in the sunset, could be the human race is run

Like the moment when the brakes lock

And you slide towards the big truck (Oh, no)

You stretch the frozen moments with your fear

And you'll never hear their voices (Daddy, daddy)

And you'll never see their faces

You'll have no recourse to the law anymore

And as the windshield melts and my tears evaporate

Leavin' only charcoal to defend

Finally, I understand the feelings of the few

Ashes and diamonds, foe and friend

We were all equal in the end
