Desert Grins - Wrathchild America

In the heat of the day, feel the power of the sun

Sweat burns your eyes like an acid shower

Buzzards overhead show no mercy for no one

An imminent death from the epitome of power

Now, look to the sky, it never ends, it just begins

Go ahead and try to outrun the heat

Sand feels like fire to your feet

As you look around for miles and miles

Panic sets in as the desert smiles

Now, look to the sky, it never ends, it just begins

Desert grins

The desert smiles

Give up your soul to the land

The desert smiles

You realize that you’re merely man

Dusk falls cooling the brain in your skull

You can make up some time, but which way to go

Now here comes the night and you’re freezing in blackness

The earth comes alive as you drift into madness

Now, look to the sky, through swollen eyes, you’ll never win

Now, nighttime sets in, the desert is your only friend

The desert smiles

Give up your soul to the land

The desert smiles

Trapped in a living, breathing blanket of sand

The desert smiles

Don’t you try to understand

The desert smiles

You realize that you’re merely man
