Wasteland

from Sky Blue Hell by Newfane

about

Where once there was a G, a low E, changing the course of history.

lyrics

At the edge of town
There's a hole in the ground
The villagers say it was dug by slaves
Your mother said they came out of the sky
When they used it for mass graves
She cried

The girl grew up and stepped out into the world
She still remembered every name
Eight hundred souls and sisters
Burned into the desert sky, alive

When you live in a wasteland
Falling from graceland
There's no turning back from the past

When you see her rise
You and I will feel who lives and dies
Live a lie
They would find you in this town
They would try to bring you down
Underground

The girl grew up and spoke out after the war
She said this man must not be king
She swore on the souls of her sisters
To march him to the edge of time, align

When you live in a wasteland
You die a displaced man
There's no coming back from the facts
In a wasteland, on my own
Better off alone
Not my home
Not for long
