[Verse 1]
The prospect of sun
Page after page
Of black and white portraits
A silver age
Scent of a sunset
On a stage
Difficult music
A modern age

[Verse 2]
The palace is still
A frozen cage
Bayonets gleam
A silver rage
Earthquakes predicted
And someday soon
A total eclipse
Of the sun and the moon

[Outro]
Earthquakes predicted
And someday soon
A total eclipse
Of the sun and the moon
