Death Valley, When Dust Turns To Light

 Death Valley, When Dust Turns To Light


 Oh Valley of Death how I have seen you come to life
 from Mountains of Fire, from Dust to Light
 through Passages of No Mans Lands Into Heavenly Doors
 from Fields of Nothing to Bounty's where Wild Flowers Galore,
 through Hills of Emptiness new Life births Forth
 in Pastures of Desert Gold, Five Spots and Gravel Ghosts
 where the Dunes of Time in it's Stillness speak of new Kingdoms to come
 and the Winds that Rip and Flip the Sands only to Glisten as the Sun,
 looking Upwards where Rose Sage and Lupine sing songs So High
 where the few Dare to trek and the Stellar Hawks Fly,
 and the Snow Capped Mountain Peaks breathe New Hope
 and in Due Time, the Phantom Rivers Flow
 and where the Sun Crucifies all that is touched
 yet through the Cauldron of Flames we attain our Faith and Trust,
 to Alchemize Indeed, Death Valley Knows such Creeds
 that Nothing is Impossible when one Truly Believes
 and so we hold Steadfast when Dusk turns to Night
 for in every Promise Land, Dust Turns To Light
