Candlemass
The Killing of the Sun
[Verse 1]
Genocide destination
A scientific race
Symptoms of the evolution
We're fresh out of the caves

Bow and arrow, fangs and fur
Neanderthals and cars
We burned the flame and tamed the earth
Looked up to the stars

[Verse 2]
The dogs, the apes, the buffalo
The fire and the wheel
From Trojan wars to World War II
The invention of steel

There's time for sin, there's time for laughter
Wonders in the lab
Babylon is still a whore
But the best time that we had

[Chorus]
Who stopped the clock?
Who threw the rock?
The killing of the sun
The killing of the sun
[Bridge]
We see atom, the crates of Jupiter
A cure for cancer, science is the word
What is progress when the streets of London burn?
Who are we fooling? The dance of Lucifer

[Refrain]
Genocide destination
A scientific race
Symptoms of the evolution
We're fresh out of the caves

Bow and arrow, fangs and fur
Neanderthals and cars
We burned the flame and tamed the earth
Looked up to the stars

[Chorus]
Who stopped the clock?
Who threw the rock?

The killing of the sun
The killing of the sun
The killing of the sun
The killing of the sun
