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 Of mans pride, the end is very near, it's been replaced by a cold machine.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 Of mans pride, the end is very near, it's been replaced by a cold machine.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? M. Duran 6-5-08

a interesting and fine song,....again great guitar-tunes and the idea to take from mr. asimov the lyric is fantastic. a very fine production.... ps: have read all the wonderful physic and -astronomy books of mr. asimov, but from the sci-fi-series only the first two, because i think, if you have read the first sci-fi book, you have read all his sci-fi storys....and he running the time, a long time ahead. and the style of his writing is very fine. it is a really pleasure to read mr. asimovs books, the words flows there and i have learn a lot of this man, because he write also from face to face. lovely greetings and hugs, fogy

Hi Michael, I'm a little lost for words . . . this is brilliant; the concept, the production, the lyrics. This sits along-side your other sci-fi classic, "The stars like dust" as a real hi point. A station add for sure. David

This was pretty trippy cuz kick ass guitars rocking in the back ground the spoken words remind me of something you would here from Pink Floyd .
