The Badlands

They call this the badlands baby But it used to be bayou The shore of an inland sea And I can hear you coming

A hole in the world And the light is leaking out Spilling like water And I can hear you coming

What new devilry is this I saw you rise And creep across the sky And all night as I fled You came behind

Eating all the stars Dig to find Why the life led Rocks and stones Skulls and bone Whispered stories Tales of glory

And a tragic fall from grace And a tragic fall from grace And a tragic fall from grace

And we’re still falling Just like the dinosaurs And a tragic fall from grace

sorry i didnt mean to post it as a comment

great song though, the other version that bob sang in is lovely

it was ryan that sang the demo version, not bobby.

whoever sang it its good

whoever said it's ryan is correct. i didn't want to make a third consecutive post. i know.. i suck.

Maybe my favorite GAD song, maybe the only one that shows off any musical talent.

Good song. It's kind of neat/strange that most of their songs incorporate famous pieces of literature into them, like Lord of the Flies and Heart of Darkness. I know the lines "I saw you rise And creep across the sky And all night as I fled You came behind Eating all the stars"

comes from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King :

"It began last night at sunset. From the hills in the Eastfold of your realm I saw it rise and creep across the sky, and all night as i rode it came behind eating up the stars."
