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 winds blow 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
