Wasteland – Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats

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 that 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 are 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’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 returned with lessons to learn we wont 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 cant 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 faltering ships on the waves
The eyes that are closed shall miss it
When evil rides up from the grave

On the way back
On the way back
On the way back
On the way back
