Lyrics
The Naked Sun
Cold dark metal, it knows no fear,
no emotions here, all is clean.
Of mans pride, the end is very near,
it's been replaced by a cold machine.
A question is asked, bold & clever,
can you hold, or will you run?
As the open sky stretches on forever,
can Man endure the naked sun?
A new victim has been named,
and the task has been set.
Your humanity has been shamed,
you just don't know it yet.
Deep in the cold dark eyes of R. Daneel,
you will find your lost strength of old.
This man-machine has taught you how to feel
once more you trust what you've been told
All are against you, they have agreed,
and your fate has been decreed.
Can you hold, or will you run,
as you stand before the naked sun?
Cold dark metal, it knows no fear,
no emotions here, all is clean.
Of mans pride, the end is very near,
it's been replaced by a cold machine.
All are against you, they have agreed,
and your fate has been decreed
Can you hold, or will you run,
Can you stand before the naked sun?
