lyrics

You wake up in the morning
realize a haunting new reality
dreams had given you shelter
from the endless sands that stretch as far as you can see
your memory is fading
you can’t recall exactly how you’ve gotten here
fingers burrow in the sand
the sun is rising shadows slowly disapear
on the wasteland
you can hear them
they await you
on the wasteland
you rise up to your feet again
start another quest survive another day
time is only memories
confused and re-arranged and fading on the way
to your unknown destiny
you race toward mirages
visions sent by demons to break your spirit on the way
laying bets on every breath
they laugh and throw the dice and play their cruel game
on the wasteland
you can beat them
they await you
on the wasteland
what can I say to you that no one else has ever said
our life is full of happiness and sorrow
the pain you feel today
will surely pass away
and everything will be alright tomorrow

The other red thread throughout, albeit perhaps on a slightly lesser note, are quirky, subtly atonal instrument details" Progmessor 5/2021 ... more
