Two suns in the sunset -- Pink Floyd

In my rear view mirror the sun is going down   sinking behind bridges in the road
and I think of all the good things   that we have left undone  and I suffer premonitions
confirm suspicions  of the holocaust to come

the rust wire that holds the cork  that keeps the anger in  gives way 
and suddenly it's day again   the sun is in the east  even though the day is done 
two suns in the sunset   could be the human race is run

like the moment when the brakes lock   and you slide towards the big truck 
you stretch the frozen moments with your fear  and you'll never hear their voices 
and you'll never see their faces  you have no recourse to the law anymore. 

and as the windshield melts  my tears evaporate  leaving only charcoal to defend 
finally I understand  the feelings of the few  ashes and diamonds 
foe and friend  we were all equal in the end                                         (sing  365)   

This song is about fear of nuclear holocaust in England. In the song it says the sun is in the East, even though the day is done (The sun sets in the West).                          (songfacts)
