Desert Rain Lyrics
The sympathy in my mind is growing cold
Life is like the burning sand so I'm told
The time is coming near when solitude appears
Take the chains of oppression away
Through the sands of time I'm marching on
The blistering rays of hate strengthen me
The violent mass has shown my destiny
Does all of this justify the rage inside
Chorus:
The desert rain is changing me
It's called on me to rise
A world of hate and malice
Yes, that's the way it seems
The hour glass is running out
The serpent rides with me
We shall rise and conquer
Crushing all that's weak
All that's light is burning out
The serpent rides with me
Repeat chorus
Life is like the burning sand so I'm told
The time is coming near when solitude appears
Take the chains of oppression away
The blistering rays of hate strengthen me
The violent mass has shown my destiny
Does all of this justify the rage inside
The desert rain is changing me
It's called on me to rise
Yes, that's the way it seems
The hour glass is running out
The serpent rides with me
Crushing all that's weak
All that's light is burning out
The serpent rides with me

One of Iced Earth's greatest songs, starts with an awesome(and fun to play) guitar solo, and builds into beautiful lyrics. Follows the Stormrider through the desert on his journey.
I couldn't agree more. I can't believe I didn't appreciate it as I do before... this song is so amazing, so addictive...
Stormy rallies the natives around him, to "Take the chains of oppression away." He uses them as his army to go back and conquer his native land.
Such a badass song. Nice intro.
