lyrics

I wander the street for something to eat
To satisfy my basic needs
It not as easy as it used to be
Getting from day to day.

Put my hands in my coat
Rap a cloth round my throat
To protect me from the poisons afloat
In the atmosphere, it’s so unclear,
I can barely see the sky.

It seems so long ago, when the world didn’t know
That a few bad men were taking control
We thought it was grand and a wonderful plan
Til they left us here to die

Now we wander alone with nowhere to go
Waiting for the day that we die in a hole
Ragged and worn, we are the swarm
Hear our horror cries

The ashes swirl into the air
As all the living victims in despair
Scream out for anyone to hear
Their cries of anguish

How can you leave them in the street?
Listening to children’s hearts that beat
As they drown in their own sweat and blood
Welcome to the flood

Chorus
Black sunset comes again
And this is the end
For us, for anyone
Who can’t comprehend
How we were easily led
By shadow men
Under the black sunset

Never will we know another night
So freezing cold and filled with fright
Did it just to please their appetite
And now we pay

Stare into the Sun
Mark it well and long
Let it burn into your mind’s eye strong
Feel the ashes entering your lungs
Say goodbye

(Chorus)

Were we fools in chains?
Were we all deranged?
Mindless robots working as their slaves
As they went to war and they dropped the bomb
All that we knew is gone

We could’ve lived in peace
We could’ve been as one
We could’ve worked together to see the Sun
But now our lives have just begun
And it’ll never rise again.

(Chorus)
