The Killing Of The Sun
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Genocide destination
A scientific race
Symptoms of the evolution?
We're fresh out of the caves!
Bow and arrow, fangs and fur
Neanderthals and cars
We burned the flame and tamed the earth
Looked up to the stars
The dogs, the apes... The buffalo
The fire and the wheel
From trojan wars to world war II
The invention of steel!
There's time for sin, there's time for laughter
Wonders in the lab
Babylon is still a whore
But the best time that we had!
Who stopped the clock?
Who threw the rock?
The killing of the sun!
We see atom, the crates of jupiter
A cure for cancer, science is the word
What is progress when the streets of london burn
Who are we fooling? The dance of lucifer!
