Desperation Part II

[m/l van Dyk]
 Years of writing books
 Long behind him now
 A nihilistic confidence and a smile upon his face
 Johnny Marinville and his Harley through the desert
 One last ride to make him feel young again
 He came back from Vietnam
 Only one to escape the bomb
 That tore apart the bar in which he drank with hi friends.
 Living with the question
 Of why he was the sole survivor
 Fighting the dreams that plague him
 And wondering when they'll end
 This cynic smiles and feels the wind
 As he speeds by the policeman on the road
 He stopped and beaten, thrown in the cell
 With the others the bleeding cop has found
 Collie takes the one
 The boy's mom Ellie
 And drags her screaming away
 Young David Prays to the God he found
 When his friend, run-down, lie dying in his arms
 And with his faith, the boys escapes
 And frees the desert's other captives
 The stumble across
 David's dead sister
 And they bury her with tears in their eyes
 Only boy, only a man
 Drawn together in God's plan
 In the desert, purposes emerge
 All are here to love and serve
 All across this desert town
 They see the butchered bodies of the dead
 What could have caused this hell on earth?
 Just what evil made this madness happen?
 As even as they hide
 Tak returns
 Possessing now a different body
