 Intro  -
The  night is dark, the moon  is full
Across  the blood  red plain
 Every step and every  breath
Brings  me nearer home
The  spirits watch me on  my way
 They whisper  on the wind
 And when the dawn lights up  the sky
 I'll see  my land again
 Instramental break -
 A hot wind blows the scrub and dust
 across the barren land
 Trees stand bare like skeletons
 The mountains all torn down
 The water holes are dry as bones
 No birds are singing now
 And faraway a city stands
 Tombstones against the sky - 4x
 Instramental part again
 -  -  3x
