lyrics

The sun beats down on you
Burning your skin & your eyes
But fate has other plans for you on the horizon
Oasis up ahead
In the kingdom of the sand
There is no mercy past or present in this land

All of the ancestral wisdom
Has been burned away by the empire

In this place, in these times
Dark ideals fill their minds
In this place, in these times
Dark ideals fill their minds

To keep your journey strong
You must stay the course ahead
And not give into the pressure on your mind
The treasures that await you
In times of deep despair
Will fill all of your pockets of desire

All the secrets of elders past
They stole away & wrote their names

Dark ideals fill their minds
In this place, in these times

All of our burdens will be for naught
If we give up on our fight today
In this place, in these times
Dark ideals fill their minds
In this place, in these times
Dark ideals fill their minds

All of our burdens will be for naught
If we give up on our fight today
