Badlands Lyrics

(7:21)
 
 I ride alone, the wasteland I cross will take another life,
 We'll take another life
 I feel a dry wind, dust is in my eyes, the arctic cold at night,
 The earth it tells me lies
 God in heaven my only friend, will I live to see my journey's end
 As the world awakens me so hard, my values have been changed
 I make a promise to myself, never again
 A dusty god-forsaken path, endless to my dismay
 I know these are badlands, somehow I'll find my way
 No more paradise no more soothing rain,
 all a sacrifice the pain is all the same
 But still I'm pushing onward alone I can't deny
 My presence fills the desert my spirit never dies
 Will these lonely nights ever end will I live to see my journey's end
 The vultures that circle, cloud the empty sky
 Patiently waiting they wait for me to die
 Tortured and beaten, blistered by the sun
 Forceful and heartless, have the badlands won
 But still I'm pushing onward, alone I can't deny
 My presence fills the desert, my spirit never dies
