Badlands Songtext
von Dezperadoz

Like an ounce in the opium den
Like the fire of a dozen men
Like smoke that clouds my brain
I can taste the rage pumping in my veins
Like two Asian beauties on my left
Like a snake, I can taste the sweat
Like a blade of a dear old friend
A drug in my mouth reaching for the end
Like a beast, I can smell her breath
Like the sweet bitter kiss of death
Like a rattlesnake ready to kill
I′m tumbling around as the time stands still
Like the sun burning off my skin
Like my tears wash away my sins
Like a body for my soul to rot
Drinking life from a golden cup


'Cause I feel all I am is a lie
Will I live or die?
Will I win in the end?
Blood in the pale, pale lands

Like sand of the hourglass
Like a flame, I can feel the wrath
Like a coin falling through my hand
I try to catch, but I know I can′t
Like a rose growing in my skin
Like a seed, I can feel my sin
Like a ghost running down my spine
Lord, can't you see that the night is mine?

'Cause I feel all I am is a lie
Will I live or die?
Will I win in the end?
Blood in the pale, pale lands
I feel all I am is a lie
Will I live or die?
Will I win in the end?
Blood in the pale, pale lands


Like an ounce in the opium den
Like the fire of a dozen men
Like smoke that clouds my brain
I can taste the rage running in my veins

′Cause I feel all I am is a lie
Will I live or die?
Will I win in the end?
Blood in the pale, pale lands

Like an ounce in the opium den
Like the fire of a dozen men
Like an ounce in the opium den
Like the fire of a dozen men
Like smoke that clouds my brain
I can taste the rage pumping in my veins

′Cause I feel all I am is a lie (Feel all I am is a lie)
Will I live or die? (Will I live or die?)
Will I win in the end? (Will I win?)
Blood in the pale, pale lands
