Desert Song

Desert Song - Fair Warning

Refugees homeless and bare

Out in the endless sands

Sunburned faces eyes of despair

Searching the Promised Land

And a nameless sorrow

Way deep inside their souls

If there's no tomorrow

Nothing will remain

No one ever knows

As they move

Through the land of shadow

And the setting sun in a boundless range

As the night comes on

With the desert song

There were times of justice and peace

Or was it just a dream

Golden ages joyful and free

So far away it seems

But the sound of laughter

Still ringing in their ears

If there's no here after

Time will turn a page

Seal it with a tear

On the move

Through the land of shadows

And the setting sun in a boundless range

As the night comes on

Sing the desert song

Carved in the dark their city of dreams

Drowned in the baseless sands

Gardens of life abandoned and bare

Turned to deserted land

Out on the fields of night

Storm winds begin to rise

Out on the run

With the desert song
