Lost in the Dust

[Verse] In the desert haze I stumble and I roam With a whore by my side Whose name I'll never know Whiskey on my breath And dirt on my skin Lost in this barren land Where do I begin? [Verse] Her eyes like fire Burning through the night She tempts and she teases But never feels right In this vast expanse We're searching for a home But the desert wind whispers "You're forever alone" [Verse] The sun beats down As we walk this endless mile There's no shelter here Just a never-ending trial The sand beneath our feet It shifts and it stings In this wasteland of despair Where do we find our wings? [Verse] A mirage appears An oasis in the sand A shimmering promise A haven in this land But as we draw closer The image fades away Just another cruel trick In this desolate display [Verse] Then in the twilight A star begins to shine A beacon in the darkness A whisper of a sign Is this the answer? A path to rise above? Or just another illusion In this wasteland of love?
