Desolation Road

Desolation Road - The Flower Kings

Be sure to meet your enemies with open eyes

When you answer drums of war with a lullaby

When battlefields they come alive you know you cannot hide

But he who knows your fears is the man inside

Walk a beaten track knock on any door

There are no glittering prices for you to score

As if there was an hourglass where time was running out

You hurry seeking shelter from the angry crowd

In silent graveyards they look for saviors

A promised land beyond the prayers

A land where all the suffering is gone

And nothing will bring you down

While the road to desolation lingers on

People turn to hatred for what's hard to understand

No love for he is different than the common man

With the echoes of the ancient bouncing down the aisle

In dark forgotten corners you found saints keep crying

In silent graveyards they look for saviors

A promised land beyond the prayers

A land where all the suffering is gone

And no one will bring you down

While the road to desolation lingers on
