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
