The Flower Kings - Desolation Road lyrics

Be sure to meet your enemies with open eyes When you answer drums of war - with a lullaby When battlefields they come alive - you know you cannot hide But he who knows your fears - is the man inside Walk a beaten track - knock on any door There are no glittering prices for you to score As if there was an hourgla** where time was running out You hurry seeking shelter from the angry crowd In silent graveyard - they look for saviors - a promised land beyond the prayers A land where all the suffering is gone - and nothing will bring you down While the road to desolation lingers on People turn to hatred for what's hard to understand No love for he who's different than the common man With the echoes of the ancient bounding down the aisle In dark forgotten corners you found saints - kepp crying In silent graveyard - they look for saviors - a promised land beyond the prayers A land where all the suffering is gone - and no one will bring you down While the road to desolation lingers on
