Desert Song Lyrics
Dark and dirty
like you have never seen
a mind so twisted
with thoughts so unclean.
My heart is racing
all tattered and torn
I stand here naked
as the day I was born.
Over and over I stand
I'm holding the world in my hand
I got to believe
The sky is falling
on this setting son
Echoes of silence
ringing loud and long
This isolation
is the king of pain
A lost horizon
in an ocean of flames
Only the lonely will stand
I'm holding the world in my hand
I got to believe
Bridge:
I've been here before,
but not as I stand here today
I wait for the dawn
ready to walk
into the light
like you have never seen
a mind so twisted
with thoughts so unclean.
My heart is racing
all tattered and torn
I stand here naked
as the day I was born.
Over and over I stand
I'm holding the world in my hand
I got to believe
on this setting son
Echoes of silence
ringing loud and long
This isolation
is the king of pain
A lost horizon
in an ocean of flames
I'm holding the world in my hand
I got to believe
I've been here before,
but not as I stand here today
I wait for the dawn
ready to walk
into the light

This is one of my favorite songs off of Def Leppard's "Retroactive" album. A real rocker that would've helped Def Leppard through the nineties if they'd released it instead of the constant stream of ballads from "Adrenalize" and "Retroactive".
have to agree; this should have been on adrenalize.
