The Day of Crimson Skies

Eloy

Compositor: Frank Bornemann / Michael Gerlach

Strange was my dream
the sun on the horizon disappeared out of sight
Before my eyes
the moon begun to glow in crimson skies
burning bright
A ball of fire hit the ground
the earth torn apart
a crowd in panic stormed the streets
fear spreading out
Inside my heart
a latent force dispersed all rising fear
from my mind
A piercing cry
of soaring birds announced our judgement's day
across the sky
A magic sound rang everywhere
filling the air
a liquid fire all around
claiming the ground
panic all around
A magic light - fiery and bright
rising despair - fear in the air
man, woman, child - all running wild
time standing still
on the day of crimson skies
...
A magic light - fiery and bright
from outer space
to destroy the human race!
