Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Cold as steel the darkness waits, its hour will come
A cry of fear for the chosen 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
[Verse 2]
Sunrise is gone
Freezing out the fires
Sunrise is gone
Numbing our desires
Sunrise is gone
Sunrise is gone
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Sunrise is gone
Freezing out the fires
Sunrise is gone
Numbing our desires
[Verse 5]
Around the world the nations wait for some wise words from their leading light
You know it's not only mad men who listen to fools
"Is this the end?" the millions cried, clutching their riches as they died
Those who survive must weather the storm
[Verse 6]
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 journeys end, it's just begun
