Who could be closer
To this than we

A thousand stars could crush upon us
And still we wouldn't see
We would not see

Dont't let the sun go down today
For us to see

It's all for seconds to remember
For deeds we want engraved
And everything that lasts
Will find its place
In stories

And in statues they remain
The ever striving
With glances in their eyes that never fade

And in our songs they will refrain
These words that never change

That give our ways direction
That lead the searching and the blind


A last chance
Before the fiercest bane takes over
And to decide

Don't let the sun go down today

May dusk not cover
Your disdain in night's belay

But our hands build monuments
For recreance and for conceit

To inter us in the deepest clefts that there could be

And in our songs they will refrain
These words that never change

Don't let the sun go down today

And when our eyes meet the stars again
We're all led far away
But not today
