The Killing of the Sun Songtext
von Candlemass

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
The best time that we had


Who stopped the clock?
Who threw the rock
The killing of the sun
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

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

Who stopped the clock?
Who threw the rock?
The killing of the sun
The killing of the sun

The killing of the sun
The killing of the sun


The killing of the sun
The killing of the sun
