Iced Earth - Desert Rain lyrics

Life is like the burning sand so I'm told

The time is coming near when solitude appears

Take the chains of oppression away

Through the sands of time I'm marching on

The blistering rays of hate strengthen me

The violent mass has shown my destiny

Does all of this justify the rage inside

Chorus:

The desert rain is changing me

It's called on me to rise

A world of hate and malice

Yes, that's the way it seems

The hour glass is running out

The serpent rides with me

We shall rise and conquer

Crushing all that's weak

All that's light is burning out

The serpent rides with me

Repeat chorus
