Lyric discussion by brandnewisrock 

Cover art for The Badlands lyrics by Gatsbys American Dream

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
