Welcome on board to those of you in transit en route from the horror
For most of you it's morning but we're really in the middle of the night,
Chasing the sun, chasing the sun.

Stay in your seats until the journey's over, follow instructions
Your fear is in the luggage secured within the hold
Do not walk outside this area, do not walk outside this area.

Here in the cabin under constant pressure, a cargo religion
Stacked in a holding pattern above the killing fields.

Do not walk outside this area, do not walk outside this area,
Do not walk outside this area, do not walk outside this area,
Chasing the sun, chasing the sun.

Way down below there are trenches carved in the hillside
Shadows on contours
Dug in with orders to fight to the last man caught in a ceasefire.

Do not walk outside this area, do not walk outside this area,
Do not walk outside this area, do not walk outside this area,
Chasing the sun, chasing the sun.

Gentlemen the briefing is as follows. At this moment both sides have withdrawn to their original defensive positions and have agreed a temporary ceasefire. I must stress that a very fragile truce exists and the slightest incident of provocation would create an extremely explosive situation.

I know they stare at the heavens where I will parley with angels,
With God's will, they will see me create another star
For my comrades in the darkness I will provide the light
With the souls of these unbelievers, I will create another star
I will create another star, I will create another star.

Chasing, we are chasing, chasing, we are chasing, chasing the sun
