Sick and wounded – and close to death Step by step through the desert sand Burning our lunges with hot breath A nameless torture without end
Hope and desire Merged on a trail of fire Agony and pain Praying for a desert rain
The crack of the whip The beat of the drum The horror seems to last forever Crossing the land We’re crossing the sea Chained and bound together
Across the wastelands Beyond the seas Onward to an unknown fate we ride Across the wastelands The barren earth Facing our fate side by side Side by side
Passing galleys on a lake of sulphur Bloodred sunset – yellow water Increasing clouds of poisoned vapour Hear the echoes of the tyrants laughter
Rain and our tears Mixed on a sea of fears Screams and cries Stars of an endless night
