Wasteland Songtext
von Uncle Acid & the deadbeats

From the booklet, tho it′s missing one word near the end.

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 than 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 have 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 knew 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 return with lessons to
learn, we won't 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 can't 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 (...) ships on the waves
The eyes that are closed shall miss it
When evil rides up from the grave
On the way back...
