989 Total Eclipse of the Sun

Anlässlich der heutigen partiellen Sonnenfinsternis die Erinnerung an eine totale: Liedtext des gleichnamigen Songs der Einstürzenden Neubauten aus dem Jahr 2000.

Total Eclipse of the Sun

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 sickle 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, really, really, really, really, really want to see Is a total eclipse of the sun

All I really, really, really, really, really, 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, really, really, really, really, really want to see Is a total eclipse of the sun
