The Yawpers - The Desert lyrics

It came in the night without alarm and turned our bones to dust We all knew it was coming though it was never discussed It's been a blast, but we're all out of time Watching the ma**es toe the company line They k** the gardens and dilute the sublime It's gonna take it man, and eye for an eye It came before we could tell Nothing we could do or say It took the children, and poisoned the wells There it goes, wasn't quiet or slow The desert will put you on your knees for a little bit There it goes, curtain call for the show The desert won't leaving anyone wanting When the sands came in they swallowed us whole But displayed our sins One little piece to make sure that the dagger was in And even now that everything's gone You hear the echoes of the siren's song The earth's abandoned and that's how it belongs An empty lot between the devil and god It left the shell but it tore out the guts Nothing we could do or say It took our shrines and covered em in rust There it goes, wasn't quite or slow The desert will put you on your knees for a little bit There it goes, curtain call for the show And the desert won't leave anyone wanting
