Wasteland

Lyrics

From the booklet, tho it's missing one word near the end.
 They stood by the edge of darkness
 And bowed at the Angelus bell
 A chill from above swept through them
 As they knew this would never end well
 The fire in the sky had warned them
 As the marching of men came through
 The elders alone decided
 It was better to die than to lose
 And through the haze they fought for days
 But they never knew
 Fate's cold hand in this wasteland
 Will bury them too
 Further away by the ocean
 The waves fought the rocks on the land
 The hardships that sailed have all broken
 As the bodies washed up on the sand
 Four horsemen arrived at daybreak
 As the sky up ahead turned black
 The cold and the rain cut through them
 But they knew they'd never come back
 And through the haze they fought for days
 But they never knew
 Fate's cold hand in this wasteland
 Will bury them too
 In the end all our broken bones turn to dust
 As the brains of our jailers bleed out into rust
 It's a long way home
 It's a long way home
 It's a long way home
 From here
 When we return with lessons to
 learn, we won't be afraid of the darkness
 In shadows we saw a land without law
 and victims of change that lay heartless
 Old holes in the ground with children
 unfound, their torn masks hung up in tall branches
 The end has begun, farewell everyone
 Don't look to the skies, take your chances
 Does everybody follow?
 Love is so blind I can't find it
 There is no love here at all
 Look all around all you'll find is
 Hatred for everyone
 Thoughts that are clear yet distant
 Like (...) ships on the waves
 The eyes that are closed shall miss it
 When evil rides up from the grave
 On the way back...
