I must confess that I'm in distress

Lush and fauna turned to desolation

Convalesce from what's been repressed

Turn this desperation to acclamation

Moving on to follow the animal tracks

Though it's not for long before I am two steps back

No matter how far I feel I've run

The trees are beyond the horizon

Whenever I look for anyone

I'm miles away from civilization

Wrapped in barbed wire, barbed wire

Piercing my tongue, coming out with my words

Wrapped in barbed wire, barbed wire

When all is done, I've become a desert

Oh, carry me home

Where do I go from here

In the night I'm following

Barbed wire, barbed wire

When all is done, I've become nothing

Here again, dry and dead

Burn until there's nothing left

Look at me, look and see

Past everything I used to be

Here alone, clinging to the ghost of home

In the light, through the breeze

The oasis calls to-

Meetings, partings, fallings

My feet walk a land that rain has forsaken

Oh, I weep upon broken, barren earth

From which nothing will ever sprout again

[ It's within grasp, that mirage I'm chasing on the horizon

Yet, no matter how far I walk, I only find myself back where I've begun ]

No matter how far I feel I've run

The trees are beyond the horizon

Whenever I look for anyone

I'm miles away from civilization

Wrapped in barbed wire, barbed wire

Piercing my tongue, coming out with my words

Wrapped in barbed wire, barbed wire

When all is done, I've become a desert

Oh, carry me home

Where do I go from here

In the night I'm following

Barbed wire, barbed wire

When all is done, I've become nothing

Nothing, I've become nothing

Oh, I've become nothing

( Civilization past the horizon

I walk a land that rain has forsaken

Civilization past the horizon

I circle back to my destination )

Civilization past the horizon

I walk a land that rain has forsaken

Civilization past the horizon

I circle back to my destination
