Iron Maiden 1982 - The Number Of The Beast - Total Eclips
текст песни

Written by: (Harris/Murray/Burr)

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

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
Sunrise is gone
Sunrise is gone

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 journey's end, it's just begun
