I ride alone... the wasteland that I cross Well take another life we'll take another loss I feel a dry wind... dust is in my eyes The arctic cold at night The earth it tells me lies Will these lonely nights ever end Will I live to see my journeys end And the world awakens me so hard My values have been changed I make a promise to myself never again A dusty god-forsaken path endless to my dismay I know these are the badlands Somehow I'll find my way No more paradise No more soothing rain All is sacrificed the pain is all the same Still I'm pushing onwards Alone I can't deny My presence fills the desert My spirit never dies
