Memory Garden - Barren Lands lyrics

Staring through these barren lands Like countless times before Have been walking since forever A thousand miles or more Not a soul to share my thoughts Of this devastation brought Cold winds whisper The blackened sky advance Dry leaves perform their crippled dance Patterns in the sand mark my way Others can follow and join one day So self-destructive but unwilling to see The seams were all ripped and damnation set free Prophecies of old Just an old fools story told? We have forsaken ourselves Far too greedy and filled with hate The high-minded bonds evaporate Selling the course with every mistake The waves of consequence obliterate Memory fragments of a perfect world Still, people dreamt about the perfect world Instincts took over, intellect put aside Survival needed sacrifice Nature and man collide
