In the Desert by Mekons Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 2019

[Verse 1]
In the desert artillery takes it's time
Pounds and recoils, shell after shell
Sunk in the sand, a shattered statue lies
Nothing survives in the desert, nothing survives
Stamped out these lifeless things
Mockery smashed on the pedestal
No words appear
No words appear

[Verse 2]
Nothing beside remains
’Round the decay of that colossal wreck
Boundless and bare, the lone and level sands
Stretch far away
My name is Blank, a creature of Bush and Blair
Darkness and despair, darkness and despair
