    "Two Suns In The Sunset"

    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 the brakes lock
    And you slide towards the big truck
    Oh, no
    You stretch the frozen moments with your fear

    And you'll never hear their voices
    Daddy, daddy,
    And you'll never see their faces
    You have no recourse to the law anymore

    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
