land of light
The Land of Light
The sun kept a watch over the barren desert land.
The dust that rode the wind was unforgiving.
I saw the road that stretched, through distant hell and sand.
Was I bold enough to try to find its ending?
But I, in madness, had come by here before.
In a time of distant searching,
I've heard the tales of legend and lore,
Of a land that's always burning.
I focused on the forward road,
Away from the blazing sun.
I raced to the shadowed hold,
Into a loaded gun.
From the burning planes to the barren shadow land,
I came to see the light but hell I could not stand.
I felt the drying desert slowly burning through my veins.
I strayed into a land of light but not without its pains.
