Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I ride alone, the wasteland that I cross
Will take another life, we'll take another loss
I feel a dry wind, dust is in my eyes
The arctic cold at night, the Earth, it tells me lies
[Verse 2]
God in Heaven, my only friend
Will I live to see my journey's end?
[Verse 3]
As the world awakens me so hard, my values have been changed
I make a promise to myself, never again
A dusty godforsaken path, endless to my dismay
I know these are the badlands, somehow I'll find my way
[Verse 4]
No more paradise, no more soothing rain
All the sacrifice, the pain is all the same
Still, I'm pushing onward, alone I can't deny
My presence fills the desert, my spirit never dies
[Verse 5]
Will these lonely nights ever end?
Will I live to see my journey's end?
[Verse 6]
As the world awakens me so hard, my values have been changed
I make a promise to myself, never again
A dusty godforsaken path, endless to my dismay
I know these are the badlands, somehow I'll find my way
[Verse 7]
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?
[Verse 8]
But, still, I'm pushing onward, alone I can't deny
My presence fills the desert, my spirit never dies
[Verse 9]
As the world awakens me so hard, my values have been changed
I make a promise to myself, never again
A dusty godforsaken path, endless to my dismay
I know these are the badlands, somehow I'll find my way
