Something dark is circling around People crouch in fear on the ground And those that stand above the throng with spears Were normal people ere this night appeared Waiting, waiting For an eclipse of the moon Eclipse of the moon
The clocks chime the departing of the hour Beneath the totem pole of flesh they cower And at a stroke my mind is on its own I break out of the circle all alone Waiting, waiting For an eclipse of the moon Eclipse of the moon
His body's growing old before its time But his mind wants to live forever He's out on loan by mistake His frame must wither And his unconscious self Must be withdrawn altogether Tonight
Something dark is cradled in my arms The gathering now looks on me with alarm And I am known to them and everything When they all see what it is I bring Waiting, waiting For an eclipse of the moon Eclipse of the moon
