Frozen Desert

Lost in this frozen desert
Miles from all of life
I wander these icy hills
Dealing with my strife

Lost love
Then reborn
Between good and evil
I am torn

There is a thorn
On every rose
I do not know where this path
In my frozen desert goes

For every step I take
I go back three
When of this guilded cage
Will I be free

Love is my companion
In this daily chore
Just when I think this desert ends
There is always more

It took years to get through
But finally I see
Love was always there
In the frozen desert beside me
