Shuffling through the ashes of a barren world

Lost beneath a silent, godless sky

Every day is more grey than the one before

Darker, beyond darkness, is each night

Wandering the wasted country

Pushing carts of junk around

We plod on dusty, broken blacktops

Not a sign of life or sound

This parched planet slowly dies

Paling away into the murk

The child’s my only warrant

My motivation to survive

We look for hope together

Each the other’s world entire

My son, you are the word of God

And if you’re not, God never spoke

Although we’re out of reasons to go on

We won’t give up

We’re carrying the fire in our hearts

We walk the road

Trudging bleakly to the east,

Towards the coast

Looking for a light, but there is none

Long grey dusks, long grey dawns,

Our somber life

Fading in the hands of the unknown

In this unending cold and dark

When will the mystery unfold?
