Empty Lyrics

Empty

Bare & dry a shapeless shifting swell, God forsaken scorching heaving hell

What brings you here, what sorry fate befell

That in search of something were compelled?

Watch the sky for days & pray for rain, save your tears they'll burn before they stain

Rub your fingers in your eyes in vain

There's nothing waiting for you on the plain

Bleached & black, ruin & wrack, alas, no hope, of reason a lack

Vast & empty cracked & dry

Travail is plenty, hear it sigh

Seems so long ago I drank my fill, the taste a bitter memory lingers still

I wandered long & fought against my will

And asked for nothing more than drops that spill

A thousand days have passed me by stare blindly at the empty sky

A single drop would surely drown me, nearly dead is how you found me

Bleached & black, ruin & wrack, alas, no hope, of reason a lack

Vast & empty cracked & dry travail is plenty hear it sigh

Halt & maimed deaf & mute spend your strength in vain pursuit

Nothing grows in salt or sand

Nothing lives in barren land
