[Intro]
[Verse 1]
The sun is bur
ning in the sk
y
Strands of clo
uds go slowly
drifting by
In the park, t
he lazy bees
Are droning in
the flowers a
mong the trees
And the sun bu
rns in the sky
[Verse 2]
Now the sun is
in the west
Little kids go
home to take
their rest
And the couple
s in the park
Are holding ha
nds and waitin
g for the dark
And the sun is
in the west
[Verse 3]
Now the sun is
sinking low
Children play
and know it's
time to go
High above, a
spot appears
A little bloss
om blooms and
then draws nea
r
And the sun is
sinking low
[Verse 4]
Now the sun ha
s come to eart
h
Shrouded in a
mushroom cloud
of death
Death comes in
a blinding fl
ash
Of hellish hea
t and leaves a
smear of ash
And the sun ha
s come to eart
h
[Verse 5]
Now the sun ha
s disappeared
All is darknes
s anger pain a
nd fear
Twisted, sight
less wrecks of
#
men
Go groping on
their knees an
d cry in pain
And the sun ha
s disappeared
