White bluffs won’t ever let me leave.
I am stranded in the sands that see no sun,
Where stolen stones are arranged in the shape of the lowly.
My heart won’t carry this load,
It breaks yet it begs me for more in the end.
In the end I’ve wasted everything I’ve had.
White bluffs won’t ever let me let it go unknown in the sands that see no sun,
Where borrowed bets are the only way to get ahead.
There’s a hole where hell used to be,
The crooks and the cutthroats dance in the end,
Unharmed.
My feet don’t move to no beat,
They sink to the deep with my soul in the end.
In the end I’ve wasted everything I’ve had,
And it gets worse,
It’s not the first time I’m pushed behind by my own red-stained hands.
Burn my faith away but leave my name unscathed.
Burn my face away in the sands that see no sun, in the end.
Half a man with less than none in the end.

Good sound for a road trip !!! The stoner rock atmosphere as relaxed as driving on the open road while the wind blows your head clear through the car window. Stephan
