Badlands Songtext
von Single Bullet Theory

I ride alone the wasteland that I cross
I′ll take another life, I'll take another loss
I feel a dry wind, dust is in my eyes
The ultra-cold at night, the earth, it tells me lies
God in Heaven, my only friend
Will I live to see my journey′s end?
As the world awakens me so hard
My values have been changed
I make a promise to myself, never again
A dusty, God-forsaken path, a list of my dismay
I know these are the badlands, somehow I'll find my way
No more paradise, no more soothing rain
All a sacrifice, the pain is all the same
Still I'm pushing onward, alone, I can′t deny
My presence fills the desert, my spirit never dies
Will these lonely nights ever end?
Will I live to see my journey′s end? As the world awakens me so hard
My values have been changed
I make a promise to myself, never again
A dusty, God-forsaken path, a list of my dismay
I know these are the badlands, somehow I'll find my way
The vultures that circle cloud the empty sky
Patiently waiting, they wait for me to die
Tortured and beaten, blistered by the sun
Forceful and heartless, of the badlands one
Still I′m pushing onward, alone, I can't deny
My presence fills the desert, my spirit never dies
As the world awakens me so hard
My values have been changed
I make a promise to myself, never again
A dusty, God-forsaken path, a list of my dismay
I know these are the badlands, somehow I′ll find my way
