989 Total Eclipse of the Sun
Anlässlich der heutigen partiellen Sonnenfinsternis die Erinnerung an eine totale: Liedtext des gleichnamigen Songs der Einstürzenden Neubauten aus dem Jahr 2000.
Total Eclipse of the Sun
The beauty, tender glow extinguished
The sky dull from a breeze
Ghostly the dawn without its red
Uncanny, estranged to our nature
The light like leadRipped in the dark
A tiny sickle
As small as cut by a surgical knifeThe suns last spark melts away
Not unlike a dying wick
Now stands disc on disc
And crushes my heartAll I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really want to see
Is a total eclipse of the sunAll I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really want to see
Is a total eclipse of the sun'Ah' says everyone
Just the birds are silent
With surpriseAll I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really want to see
Is a total eclipse of the sun
