From the Desert by The Irrelevants Lyrics

From the dessert, I’ve traveled
Bloody and blistered
Into my ear
The Lord God, he whispered
March on, my child-
Salvation is waiting for you

They’ve killed all my people
They’ve burned down my village
They poisoned our waters
They raped and they pillaged
The blood ran like water, and The Lord turned his gaze away

Between two rivers, I’ve wandered
Broken and aching
Healing my wounds
And still contemplating
If I dare to march on
Is the holy land waiting for me?
Is there anything waiting for me?
Salvation is waiting
Revenge for the taking
My tired third eye
It’s soon reawaking
As it dawns on me
Was it the Lord that created us?
Or was it we who created the Lord?

For you’ve seen my face through a looking glass
A vision of faith, defiled by a higher class
An army of demons, enslaved by their government
Disturbance of peace, embracing empowerment
For you’ve heard the lies, told by the other ones
Brainwashing your kin, they’re entranced, they can’t understand
That the devil once walked, among us, hooves in the sand
His dogs sent on us, death in their eyes

For the demons, the dogs, they are here to stay
For one thousand years, we are cursed, they won’t go away
There’s always a people, the heathens, the ones that don’t
Deserve to live, try to plead, but they know they won’t
Succeed in them being heard by the higher ones
Who reign down with rage, plague, pillars of fire

Free me
Free me
Free me
Free me
