Lost
Across the dry and barren desert night
Where jewels shine in starlit skies of red
The sun blinds white of raptors taking flight
I wander mindless lost on sands of might
The consciousness barely keeps me led
Across the dry and barren desert nights
Oasis green and vibrant quenching slight
No harvest that my hunger may be fed
The sun blinds white of raptors taking flight
No end of this my agony in sight
Where merciful I may rest my head
Across the dry and barren desert nights
This arid land of sand I fight
Voices echo fail hear what is said
Across the dry and barren desert nights
Rescue comes my saving guiding light
Lay me down upon this white sand bed
Across the dry and barren desert night
The sun blinds white of raptors taking flight.
