Silent, broken, bruised and cloaked in this desert night I wait for you My eyes wide open, I face this moment and picture you By my side Funny how the things of this world quickly fall away And everything is equal to me in this final place So how long, Lord how long How long, Lord how long The stars above me, the earth beneath me And my sinners place in between My god my country, my blood my enemy My reasons desert me now Funny how the things of this world quickly fall away And everything is equal to me in this final place So how long, Lord how long? How long, Lord how long?
