[Pre-Chorus, 
Row to the edge where daylight ends.
Follow the red where water bends.
Follow the red where water bends!

[Chorus,
The Last Sunset of Geryon! The copper sky is burning low!
The Last Sunset of Geryon! Three shadows stand above the glow!
The cattle move through red-gold dust!
The black sea covers bronze with rust!
Three spears rise beneath one sun!
One arrow waits. The road is done!

[Verse 2, 
Two black heads rise above the gate,
The dog bares teeth beside the slate.
A shepherd drops his wooden crook,
The cattle turn toward the brook.
The club breaks down the double jaw,
The herdsman falls beneath the blow.
Three helmets turn across the hill,
Three shields are raised. The wind is still.

[Pre-Chorus, 
Row to the edge where daylight ends.
Follow the red where water bends.
Follow the red where water bends!

[Chorus, 
The Last Sunset of Geryon! The copper sky is burning low!
The Last Sunset of Geryon! Three shadows stand above the glow!
The cattle move through red-gold dust!
The black sea covers bronze with rust!
Three spears rise beneath one sun!
One arrow waits. The road is done!

[Bridge, 
Three bodies move beneath one shield.
Three mouths call out across the field.
The bowstring pulls against the ear.
One black shaft divides the air.

The sun goes down...
The cattle turn...
The red shore closes...
The last light burns...

Three bronze plates fall in dust and stone.
Three shadows lie beneath the sun.
The cattle pass the broken spears.
The western wind takes no one's tears.

[Final Chorus, 
The Last Sunset of Geryon! The copper sky is burning low!
The Last Sunset of Geryon! Three shadows stand above the glow!
The cattle move through red-gold dust!
The black sea covers bronze with rust!
Three spears rise beneath one sun!
One arrow waits. The road is done!
One arrow waits. The road is done!

[Outro, 
The golden bowl on blackened foam.
The cattle walk away from home.

Tenth labor falls.

[End]

The sand runs red beneath the sun, The western road has just begun. Two stone columns face the sea, The narrow strait splits land from me. The golden bowl rides blackened waves, Salt fills the hollow where it sways. No shore remains behind the flame, The west forgets the eastern name. [Pre-Chorus, Row to the edge where daylight ends.
