about

Another classic of the band, but now bringing the incredible voice of Brigitte Roka to brighten the song. The new arrangement fits more with the meaning of the lyrics, of melancholy and loneliness, using instruments like acoustic guitar, organs and strings to enhance the feelings.

lyrics

All I see is sand
I have no strength to breathe
In the middle of nowhere
With no way to leave
 
I felt so long ago
Frightened and full of grief
No one in the caravan
Saw I was missing
 
I’m looking to fill
All my emptiness
No help from my friends
They couldn’t care less
 
Deserts can be cruel
Vagabonds are far gone
Caravans are too far gone
If I travel with them
I will never feel home
 
Awaiting relief
How long should I wait
Will it come to me
Before I decay?
 
The terror consume me
There’s no hope to pray
Why’d nobody tell me
the desert was gray?
 
Now I recall why
I'm alone with my fears
It’s self-centered man
That brought me here
 
When people approach me
They’re so far away
They can’t offer me help
They are turning away

Awaiting relief
How long should I wait
Will it come to me
Before I decay?
 
The terror consume me
There’s no hope to pray
Why’d nobody tell me
the desert was gray?
 
Nobody can save me
I must confess
I am not that blessed
They can’t set me free
 
Maybe they can take
Me out of my hell
Though they'll never take
The hell out of me

Awaiting relief
How long should I wait
Will it come to me
Before I decay?
 
The terror consume me
There’s no hope to pray
Why’d nobody tell me
the desert was gray?

Awaiting relief
How long should I wait
 
The terror consume me
There’s no hope to pray

Everywhere it’s the same empty horizon
Everywhere it’s the same empty horizon
Same empty horizon
