ECLIPSE


We chart the lands of make-believe
We proved the earth was flat
Masters of the briny deep
Clear skies to rough and stormy seas
I’ve seen most everything
But tonight’s a mystery
Suddenly the moon began to disappear
Lust a ring of fire remained
Swallowed in the sky, this black unsleeping eye
Watching a world away

What in the world has happened here
Midsummer’s moon has disappeared
What in the world has happened here
This evil source is drawing near
What in the world has happened here
These things I can’t explain
What in the world

Our listless sails have lost the wind
We’re prey to anything
Every sound is deafening
Whatever stirred the restless deep
Begun by surfacing
Miles away and closing in

As they went away the waves begin again
Growing with intensity
There on the horizon loomed our fatal destiny

What in the world has happened here
This crystal ball sees only tears
What in the world has happened here
So unprepared to face our fears
What in the world has happened here
Braced for the tidal wave
What in the world this fatal miracle

I surrender, I surrender
We’re not prepared to face our fears
