Maybe I was waiting for some kind of coronation
But I’m not sure why
My luck’s run dry and it’s done
I could go on praying but there's nothing else to say
‘Cause it’s an honest lie
To believe this fight can be won
And these long desert sands stretch far away
Broken and I’m battered but it doesn’t really matter
Cause it’s just a game
And it’s all checkmate in the end
I was sure I had it but the looking glass, it shattered
And it cracked my faith
In the clean escape I had planned
And these long desert sands stretch far away
It’s a certain self-abuse between the needle and the noose
That lets a man live on
When every sacred bond is destroyed
So I stand among the ruins and reflect upon the truth
That all I built is gone
And now my final song is just noise
And these long desert sands stretch far away
