Píseň: Badlands

Album:
Blessing in Disguise
I ride alone, the wasteland that I cross 
Will take another life, we'll take another loss 
I feel a dry wind, dust is in my eyes 
The artic cold at night, the earth, it tells me lies 


God in heaven, my only friend 
Will I live to see my journey's end? 
As the world awakens me so hard, my values have been changed 
I make a promise to myself: Never again 
A dusty godforsaken 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 the sacrifice, the pain is all the same 
Still I'm pushing onward, alone I can't deny 
My presence fills the desert, my spirit never dies 


Will these lonely nights ever end? 
Will I live to see my journey's end? 
As the world awakens me so hard, my values have been changed 
I make a promise to myself: Never again 
A dusty godforsaken path, endless to my dismay 
I know these are the badlands, somehow I'll find my way 


The vultures that circle, cloud the empty sky, 
Patiently waiting, they wait for me to die 
Tortured and beaten, blistered by the sun 
Forceful and heartless, have the badlands won? 


Still I'm pushing onward, alone I can't deny 
My presence fills the desert, my spirit never dies 
As the world awakens me so hard, my values have been changed 
I make a promise to myself: Never again 
A dusty godforsaken path, endless to my dismay 
I know these are the badlands, somehow I'll find my way
