Desert Song
STANLEY MARVIN CLARKE
Dark and dirty
Like you have never seen
A mind so twisted
With thoughts so unclean.
My heart is racing
All tattered and torn
I stand here naked
As the day I was born.
Over and over I stand
I'm holding the world in my hand
I got to believe
The sky is falling
On this setting son
Echoes of silence
Ringing loud and long
This isolation
Is the king of pain
A lost horizon
In an ocean of flames
Only the lonely will stand
I'm holding the world in my hand
I got to believe
I've been here before,
But not as I stand here today
I wait for the dawn
Ready to walk
Into the light
