Only the killing thirst and the hunger May open my eyes I search for myself on the journey Under the merciless sun I hear some tempting demons inside me They made my eyes blind And only now can I see them As my thoughts they’ve been disguised Nothing but sand in sight For forty days and nights Into the promised land Through the desert of my soul I feel the words of the past on my tongue now They’re just like the sand I have to get rid of the burden That’s burning my arid mouth Nothing but sand in sight For forty days and nights Into the promised land Through the desert of my soul We won’t go out! You can’t get us out of here We won’t go out! There’s nothing we fear (The lord’s prayer) Into the promised land Through the desert of my soul
