[Verse 1]
These are barren lands, austere and cold
Desert night of frozen time
[Verse 2]
Endless fields of ragged earth
Have long since drank the blood of war
[Verse 3]
Cold lair, howling winds of sand
Hunger, violence, solitary, godless
[Bridge]
This scenery so far, so burned
So beautiful, it yearns for more
[Verse 4]
These are barren lands, austere and cold
Desert night of frozen time
[Verse 5]
Unforgiving heart
Giving into the ways of wars
This is a lions lair
