I must confess that I'm in distress Lush and fauna turned to desolation Convalesce from what's been repressed Turn this desperation to acclamation Moving on to follow the animal tracks Though it's not for long before I am two steps back No matter how far I feel I've run The trees are beyond the horizon Whenever I look for anyone I'm miles away from civilization Wrapped in barbed wire, barbed wire Piercing my tongue, coming out with my words Wrapped in barbed wire, barbed wire When all is done, I've become a desert Oh, carry me home Where do I go from here In the night I'm following Barbed wire, barbed wire When all is done, I've become nothing Here again, dry and dead Burn until there's nothing left Look at me, look and see, Past everything I used to be Here alone, clinging to the ghost of home In the light, through the breeze The oasis calls to- Meetings, partings, fallings, My feet walk a land that rain has forsaken Oh, I weep upon broken, barren earth From which nothing will ever sprout again [ It's within grasp, that mirage I'm chasing on the horizon Yet, no matter how far I walk, I only find myself back where I've begun ] No matter how far I feel I've run The trees are beyond the horizon Whenever I look for anyone I'm miles away from civilization Wrapped in barbed wire, barbed wire Piercing my tongue, coming out with my words Wrapped in barbed wire, barbed wire When all is done, I've become a desert Oh, carry me home Where do I go from here In the night I'm following Barbed wire, barbed wire When all is done, I've become nothing Nothing, I've become nothing Oh, I've become nothing (Civilization past the horizon I walk a land that rain has forsaken Civilization past the horizon I circle back to my destination)
