歌词
作曲 : Matthew Farnham
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 )
