the x-ray won't shine through

Verse 1: In the land where saltbush grows, under vast and endless skies, Hardy souls with dreams so bold, in the dust their hope now lies. They sought the truth beneath the earth, with tools that pierced the blue, But found their dreams in shadows cast, where x-rays won't shine through. Chorus: Oh, mourn the lost x-ray, dim and gray, where secrets deep do hide, In Western sands, with weary hands, they stand, the hopeful side. The world looks on but cannot see the depth of what they knew, In lands where dreams lie buried deep, the x-ray won't shine through. Verse 2: Underneath the starry dome, they toiled through the night, Their scans revealed what earth concealed, but not to human sight. Alone they stood with tales untold, acceptance long overdue, Where silent stones and ancient bones say x-rays won't shine through. Chorus: Oh, mourn the lost x-ray, dim and gray, where secrets deep do hide, In Western sands, with weary hands, they stand, the hopeful side. The world looks on but cannot see the depth of what they knew, In lands where dreams lie buried deep, the x-ray won't shine through. In Western sands, with weary hands, they stand, the hopeful side. The world looks on but cannot see the depth of what they knew, In lands where dreams lie buried deep, the x-ray won't shine through.
