Omega Lyrics
The ashes drift away, smoke of our confusion
We turn our frightened faces to each other, say goodbye
Waited for the sign, waited for the moment
Waited for the miracle to arrive
I guess they lied
Look at your future
Take a look at your burning sky
Look at your future
Look at your burning sky
The others, they have gone
Who wants to live forever
With nothing left to hold on to the past that we once knew?
We believed in heaven, we believed in angels
With arms of purest whitehold us, catch us when we fall
Look at your future
Take a look at your burning sky
Look at your future
Now look at your burning sky
Now it's omega zero day
The red star shines its last rays
The sun that gave us life yesterday
Is now the sun that takes our lives away
Take a look at your future
Look at your burning sky
Look at your future
Look at your burning sky
Now it's omega zero day
The red star shines its last rays
The sun that gave us life yesterday
Is now the sun that takes our lives away
Now it's omega zero day
The red star shines its last rays
The sun that gave us life yesterday
Is now the sun that takes our lives away
We turn our frightened faces to each other, say goodbye
Waited for the sign, waited for the moment
Waited for the miracle to arrive
I guess they lied
Take a look at your burning sky
Look at your future
Look at your burning sky
Who wants to live forever
With nothing left to hold on to the past that we once knew?
We believed in heaven, we believed in angels
With arms of purest whitehold us, catch us when we fall
Take a look at your burning sky
Look at your future
Now look at your burning sky
The red star shines its last rays
The sun that gave us life yesterday
Is now the sun that takes our lives away
Look at your burning sky
Look at your future
Look at your burning sky
The red star shines its last rays
The sun that gave us life yesterday
Is now the sun that takes our lives away
The red star shines its last rays
The sun that gave us life yesterday
Is now the sun that takes our lives away

To me, this song means either one of these two things:
OR
best guitar solo ever
Quote (from Accident of Birth solo collection sleeve): A loose concept united Tltec 7 Arrival, Star Children, Omega and Arc of Space. "They're all about an apocalyptic future," [Dickinson] revealed. "Omega is about the end of the world and Arc of Space is concerns those who look at aliens almost as a religion; wish fulfilment on a grand scale. I wrote Star Children about the first contact with an alien, but the alien is Death. Take his hand and you die."
I took it for face value, personally. The description along with plainly stating "Omega Zero Day" conveyed to me that this is about the inevitable day that the sun finally dies, dragging everything in this solar system along with it.
I also thought it was about the end of the sun: "Now it's omega zero day The red star shines its last rays The sun that gave us life yesterday Is now the sun that takes our lives away"
The bit about heaven and angels i think is refering to the false beliefs (We believed in heaven, we believed in angels With arms of purest whitehold us, catch us when we fall ). People who believed in heaven, angels salvation, find that its all a lie, because they live to see the appocalypse...which happens to be when the sun burns itself out and not when their god commanded it.
don't worry, Sun is never gonna burn out, it's simply impossible, and if it still burns out - till then we will find other sun, there are plenty of 'em, as for the song's meaning I agree with all of you

@Vlacheg the sun WILL burn out one day. It will take millions of years to come, but all stars die one day and when it does, most planets if not all will be gone.

Before it explodes or implodes, it will get bigger and bigger till it becomes a red giant, which is what Bruce means with: "The red star shines its last rays"
