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.

As the windshield melts 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 born equal in the end.
