Wasteland - Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats

They stood by the edge of darkness and bowed at the Angelus bell

A chill from above swept through them as they knew this would never end well

The fire in the sky had warned them as the marching of men came through

The elders alone decided it was better to die that to lose

And through the haze they fought for days but they never knew

Fate’s cold hand in this wasteland will bury them too

Further away by the ocean the waves fought the rocks on the land

The hardships that sailed are all broken as the bodies washed up on the sand

Four horsemen arrived at daybreak as the sky up ahead turned black

The cold and the rain cut through them but they’d never come back

And through the haze they fought for days but they never knew

Fate’s cold hand in this wasteland will bury them too

In the end all our broken bones turn to dust

As the brains of our jailers bleed out into rust

It’s a long way home

It’s a long way home

It’s a long way home from here

When we returned with lessons to learn we wont be afraid of the darkness

In shadows we saw a land without law and victims of change that lay heartless

Old holes in the ground with children unfound, their torn masks hung up in tall

branches

The end has begun, farewell everyone

Don’t look to the skies, take your chances

Does everybody follow?

Love is so blind I cant find it

There is no love here at all

Look all around all you’ll find is

Hatred for everyone

Thoughts that are clear yet distant

Like faltering ships on the waves

The eyes that are closed shall miss it

When evil rides up from the grave

On the way back

On the way back

On the way back

On the way back
