“Desert Song” is a song by British hard rock band Def Leppard from their 1993 rarities and ‘B-sides’ album Retro Active. This song was an outtake from the songwriting sessions that produced 1987’s Hysteria. Self-produced, it became one of the last songs to be released by Def Leppard bearing the song...
Dark and dirty like you have never seen
A mind so twisted with thoughts so unclean
My heart is racing all tattered and torn
I stand here naked as the day I was born
Only the lonely will stand
I'm holding the world in my hand
I got to believe
The sky is falling on this setting sun
Echoes of silence ringing loud and long
This isolation is the king of pain
A lost horizon in an ocean of flames
Only the lonely will stand
I'm holding the world in my hand
I got to believe
I've been here before
But not as I stand here today
I wait for the dawn
Ready to walk into the light
