In my rear view mirror The sun is going 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 your brakes lock And you slide toward the big truck [Man:] 'Oh, no.' And stretch the frozen moments with your fear And you'll never hear their voices [Child:] 'Daddy, Daddy' And you'll never see their faces You have no recourse to the law anymore (children screaming)
And as the windshield melts And my tears evaporate Leaving 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 [radio:] '...and now the weather. Tomorrow will be cloudy with Scattered showers from the east... With an expected high Of 4000 degrees Celcius'
