lyrics

The red sun whipped down at my frown
Left at the gate in skin and scraps
Of the only oasis in this crippled earth
The oasis I just happened to call my home
Exiled from my homeland
For slaying the man who murdered my family
What do I have left here?
What lies ahead of me?

Please don't leave me
In the endless desert maze
Would you save me?
From the dark sun that blocks my gaze
Please don't leave me
In the endless desert maze
Would you save me?
From the dark sun that blocks my gaze

Ah...
Kept out by every settlement passed by
My reserves began to run low
Hallucinations of my home call out to me
My children cry out my name
As the butcher ripped out their souls
I felt the bright darkness getting nearer
Its tongue slithered down the back of my neck
I saw the end getting clearer

Please don't leave me
In the endless desert maze
Would you save me?
From the dark sun that blocks my gaze

The sun calls out my name
The desert echoes my shame
The barons refuse to accept my name
The gods abandoned me in shame

I deserve my fate
For killing my own sons
I denied the truth all along
Now lock up my halls and forget my name

I deserve my fate
For killing my own sons
I denied the truth all along
Now lock up my halls and forget my name

The gods abandoned me in shame
