Redemption - Desperation, Part Ii lyrics

[m/l van Dyk] Years of writing books Long behind him now A nihilistic confidence and a smile upon his face Johnny Marinville and his Harley through the desert One last ride to make him feel young again He came back from Vietnam Only one to escape the bomb That tore apart the bar in which he drank with hi friends. Living with the question Of why he was the sole survivor Fighting the dreams that plague him And wondering when they'll end This cynic smiles and feels the wind As he speeds by the policeman on the road He stopped and beaten, thrown in the cell With the others the bleeding cop has found Collie takes the one The boy's mom Ellie And drags her screaming away Young David Prays to the God he found When his friend, run-down, lie dying in his arms And with his faith, the boys escapes And frees the desert's other captives The stumble across David's dead sister And they bury her with tears in their eyes Only boy, only a man Drawn together in God's plan In the desert, purposes emerge All are here to love and serve All across this desert town They see the butchered bodies of the dead What could have caused this hell on earth? Just what evil made this madness happen? As even as they hide Tak returns Possessing now a different body
