[K. Vanderhoof / M. Howe]

|
I ride alone, the wasteland that I cross
|
Will take another life, we'll take another loss
|
I feel a dry wind, dust is in my eyes
|
The artic cold at night, the earth, it tells me lies
|
|
God in heaven, my only friend
|
Will I live to see my journey's end?
|
As the world awakens me so hard, my values have been changed
|
I make a promise to myself: Never again
|
A dusty godforsaken path, endless to my dismay
|
I know these are the badlands, somehow I'll find my way
|
|
No more paradise, no more soothing rain
|
All the sacrifice, the pain is all the same
|
Still I'm pushing onward, alone I can't deny
|
My presence fills the desert, my spirit never dies
|
|
Will these lonely nights ever end?
|
Will I live to see my journey's end?
|
As the world awakens me so hard, my values have been changed
|
I make a promise to myself: Never again
|
A dusty godforsaken path, endless to my dismay
|
I know these are the badlands, somehow I'll find my way
|
|
The vultures that circle, cloud the empty sky,
|
Patiently waiting, they wait for me to die
|
Tortured and beaten, blistered by the sun
|
Forceful and heartless, have the badlands won?
|
|
Still I'm pushing onward, alone I can't deny
|
My presence fills the desert, my spirit never dies
|
As the world awakens me so hard, my values have been changed
|
I make a promise to myself: Never again
|
A dusty godforsaken path, endless to my dismay
|
I know these are the badlands, somehow I'll find my way
