Total Eclipse Of The Sun - Einstürzende Neubauten

the beauty, tender glow extinguished 
the sky dull from a breeze 
ghostly the dawn without its red 
uncanny, estranged to our nature 
the light like lead 

ripped in the dark 
a tiny sichle 
as small as cut by a surgical knife 

the suns last spark melts away 
not unlike a dying wick 
now stands disc on disc 
and crushes my heart 

all i really, really, really want to see 
is a total eclipse of the sun 

'ah' says everyone 
just the birds are silent 
with surprise 

all i really, really, really want to see 
is a total eclipse of the sun
