Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Sun beats down, a merciless glare, cracks the earth, leaves nothin' there
Parched wind whispers a mournful tune, echoes 'cross a bleached white moon
Skeletons of dreams, bleached and bare, monuments to a life laid bare
This endless desert, a hungry beast, swallows hope, leaves only least
(Chorus)
Desert where hope goes to die, a wasteland beneath a merciless sky
Dreams turn to dust on the arid breeze, nothin' left but the begging knees
This parched earth sucks the spirit dry, a symphony of sorrow's cry
But a flicker remains, a defiant spark, a fire that won't die in the dark
(Verse 2)
Vultures circle, shadows that roam, pickin' at the bones left at home
Lost souls wander, eyes filled with sand, searching for a promised land
Mirages shimmer, a cruel deceit, offerin' water, bittersweet
This desert's grip, cold and so tight, steals the will to put up a fight
(Chorus)
Desert where hope goes to die, a wasteland beneath a merciless sky
Dreams turn to dust on the arid breeze, nothin' left but the begging knees
This parched earth sucks the spirit dry, a symphony of sorrow's cry
But a flicker remains, a defiant spark, a fire that won't die in the dark
(Bridge)
Maybe I'm a fool, clinging to a dream, a single seed in a barren stream
But even in dust, a flower can bloom, defy the odds, rewrite its doom
This desert's hold may be strong and vast, but hope is a seed that will forever last
(Chorus)
Desert where hope goes to die, a battlefield beneath a merciless sky
Dreams turn to dust on the arid breeze, but hope's a rose on its thorny knees
This parched earth may try to deny, the strength of the spirit that will never die
The desert may rage, but the seed will take root, and from the ashes, bear a beautiful fruit
(Outro)
Desert where hope goes to die, a chance for a new life will surely fly
The wind may howl, the sun may beat down, but hope's a fire that will forever burn around
