Two Suns In The Sunset

Roger Waters

In my rear view mirror
The Sun is going down
Sinking behind bridges in the road

I think of all the good things
That we have left undone
And I suffer premonitions
Confirm suspicions
Of the holocaust to come

The rusty wire that holds the cork
That keeps the anger in
Gives way and suddenly
It's day again

The Sun is in the east
Even though the day is done
Two suns in the sunset
Could be the human race is run?

Like the moment when the brakes lock
And you slide towards the big truck
You stretch the frozen moments with your fear

And you'll never hear their voices
And you'll never see their faces
You'll have no recourse to the law anymore

And as the windshield melts and my tears evaporate
Leaving only charcoal to defend
Finally, I understand the feelings of the few

Ashes and diamonds
Foe and friend
We were all equal in the end
