Sun down in the West
Sun up in the East
We've taken the very best
Left little for the hungry beast
But there’s much more
So much more to explore
Yes now we are on the new frontier
And they are riding in on their horses
Sundown in the West
In the last of the dying rays
We'll say look how we were blest
Back in the good old days
And everyone loves a sunset
Everyone loves nostalgic regret
But there's no time to sleep yet
For on the rise is a bloody pet
She's been kept sleeping
Like a dragon under a mountain
But her dormant dreaming
Will awaken in a fountain
And the shower of her volcano
Will turn the sky a blood red glow
Sundown in the West
While from the East the dragon's breath grows
Sun down in the West
And we hold onto lifelessness
And riches that we seize
In our hands covered in grease
For no one here is innocent
We all have blood on our hands
And who are we to call a spade a spade
When we let grass grow over our own graves
Sun down in the West
Tears roll down the chest
Of Iron man who tried his best
And Superman's uncle
Who are these heroes
Who have turned to zeroes
In the eyes of those
Re-assessing civilizations
Take the log from out your own eye
Before you point out the stick in mine
Let ye who is without sin cast the first stone
And in the cemetery of all those unknown
I walk to find peace of mind
Away from the city's drone
Sundown on the West
All we have are nation myths
Standing up like white cliffs
As the sun goes down over the ocean
