I lick the tip of my finger to trace the course of the wind
But there is no hope for life to settle in the plains across these fields
You told you once, as I told you before
This place is not what it seems, and it never was
As blade cuts the flesh, blood spills on the ground
It has fed the earth in years before, and still makes things grow all around
I told you once, as I told you before
This place is not what it seemed, and it never was
No gold, no silver, no grass
No honor to be found in men
Just killers, robbers and whores
In this God-forsaken land
I'll tell you this once, and I won't tell it again
You btter leave this place while you can
No looking behind
No turning back
I spoted a white dog wondering over the hills
Contrary to what I was told, there's life across these fields
No hope, perhaps, it's true, in this God-forsaken land
And I'll shake the dust of my boots before I leave this place
