lyrics

Stranded on your beach, I am forever out of reach of reality
This world called off the search, and has given up the hope of ever finding me
How could there be any harm, if I lay forever in the arms of your desert dunes?
Lose myself in all my pasts, while the whispering wind plays hopeful tunes

I swam its ice cold rivers, went digging in its dirt
I tried to find out just what the hell I'm worth
Looked for answers under stones, for words written in its sand
But I didn't find a thing as I walked through no man's land

I dropped my sword and shield, walked past the burning fields and spilled my tears
This road holds no secrets anymore, I've been coming here for years

I swam its ice cold rivers, went digging in its dirt
I tried to find out just what the hell I'm worth
Looked for answers under stones, for words written in its sand
But I didn't find a thing as I walked through no man's land

Rain falls down on leaking roofs, evidence that never proves anything
In this land as cold as ice, under darkened skies I am king
