There’s another world lying over there
Beyond the tall buildings, suburbs, highways
To tread; A place where only the brave dare
Where everything can vanish in the haze
It’s a place untouched by countless changes
A place where metal can only corrode
A place of scorched rock and mountain ranges
A place where there’s a single one way road
It’s where the sun beats downs relentlessly
As it’s always done for thousands of years
Where there’s sand as far as the eye can see
Waiting to prey on some long-repressed fears
And it will endure: This place of sand and rust
Even when the cities have turned to dust
