[Verse 1]

Cold as steel, the darkness waits

Its hour will come

A cry of fear from our children, worshipping the sun

Mother Nature's black revenge on those who waste her life

War babies in the Garden of Eden shall turn our ashes to ice

[Chorus]

Sunrise has gone

Freezing up the fires

Sunrise has gone

Numbing our desires

Sunrise has gone

Sunrise has gone

[Verse 2]

Around the world, the people stop with terror-stricken eyes

A shadow cast upon them all to crush them like a fly

In the icy rain and whiplashed seas, there's nowhere left to run

The hammer blows of winter fall, like a hurricane

[Chorus]

Sunrise has gone

Freezing up the fires

Sunrise has gone

Numbing our desires

[Bridge]

Around the world, the nations wait

For some wise word from their leading light

You know it's not only madmen who listen to fools

"Is this the end?" the millions cried

Clutching their riches as they died

Those who survive must weather the storm

[Guitar Solo: Dave Murray]

[Guitar Solo: Adrian Smith]

[Outro]

Gone are the days when man looked down

They've taken away his sacred crown

To be so free, it took so long

It's not journey's end, it's just begun
