Once they stood there on the sand
A flashing sword in every hand
As they fought over some gods
One side said he spoke to them
The other said it too so then
They both fancied their odds

The sun it started to go down
There was darkness in the town
As the vultures spread their wings
In the shadows of the night
People knelt by candlelight
Praying for holy things

And the depression
And the repression
Of them then and today
All of the lying
All of the dying
Would have happened anyway

Oh the sun went down on too many a town but it always rose up again
Oh the sun went down on too many a town but it always rose up again
