roaming the mountains
and the desert floor sun high over head, I've been here before
seeking the answers
to the quandaries that plague
no solutions forth coming-- my resolve diminishing
and i shout in the canyon
the question "WHY"
and the echo returns "the promises were lies"
things that you did
and things that you said
keep ricocheting around
inside of my head
my steps are unsteady did I stray from the path?
thirsting for answers
before I can go back
and i shout in the canyon
the question "WHY"
and the echo returns "the promises were lies"
the weariness is coming, I stumble and fall
nothing to grab hold of, there's no help at all
my direction now falters; which way should I go?
praying for guidance and praying to know
and I shout in the canyon
the question "WHY"
the echo that returns "the promises were lies"
heaven betrayed me
hell opens it's door
redemption can't find me
on this desert floor
I've burned all my bridges, hell's flames scorch at me
there's just no way back--none that I'll ever see
and i shout in the canyon
the question "WHY"
the echo that returns "the promises were lies"
