DESERT SONG

Refugees – homeless and bare
Out in the endless sands
Sunburned faces – eyes of despair
Searching the promised land

And a nameless sorrow –
Way deep inside their souls
If there's no tomorrow –
Nothing will remain
No one ever knows –

As they move –
Through the land of shadow
And the setting sun in a boundless range
As the night comes on
With the desert song

There were times of justice and peace
Or was it just a dream
Golden ages – joyful and free
So far away it seems

But the sound of laughter –
Still ringing in their ears
If there's no hereafter –
Time will turn a page
Seal it with a tear –

On the move –
Through the land of shadows
And the setting sun in a boundless range
As the night comes on –
Sing the desert song

Carved in the dark – their city of dreams
Drowned in the baseless sands
Gardens of life – abandoned and bare
Turned to deserted land

Out on the fields of night
Stormwinds begin to rise
Out on the run
With the desert song
