they call this the badlands baby
but it used to be bayou
the shore of an inland sea
but i can hear you coming
and there's a hole in the world
and the light is leaking out
spilling like water
and i can hear you coming
what foul beast stalks this way
the night is dim but i catch the
scent of your arrogance
as you rear your head i can see your eyes
gleaming catching light from the moon like a
pair of knives to cut me down
what new devilry is this
i saw you rise and creep across the sky and all
night as i fled you came behind eating all the
stars
dig to find
why the lights left
rocks and stones, skulls and bones
whispered stories, tales of glory and a tragic
fall from grace
and we're still falling just like the dinosaurs
