Cover art for The Badlands lyrics by Gatsbys American Dream

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."
