Red sun Red sun over paradise Red sun Red sun over paradise
Golden rays of the glorious sunshine Setting down, such a blood-red light Now the animals slowly retreat To the shadows – out of sight Arid breeze blows across the mountains Giving flight to the birds of prey In the distance machines come To transform Eden – day by day
Only love is with us now Something warm and pure Find the peace within ourselves No need for a cure
When the wind is slow And the fire’s hot The vulture waits to see what rots Oh how pretty All the scenery This is nature’s sacrifice When the air blows through With a brisk attack The reptile tail ripped from its back When the sun sets We will not forget the Red sun over paradise
