lyrics

The sun is beating down
Upon my heavy crown
I see them through the dust
Stone eyes that I mistrust

Towering above the dunes
His visage fills me with doom
Desert Colossus

In this desert, we ride
No escape, cannot hide
We feel the shifting sands
This temporal wasteland

Always there, but we're alone
It sits on its sandy throne
Desert Colossus

Oasis near its base
But it's a false embrace
'Cause it just wants control
As it's stealing your soul

In the desert, it still lingers
Stare at this, my middle finger
Desert Colossus

The Journey Has Just Begun...

I knew Joe Mayeur, the guitarist on this album. It's also a great album if you're into reggae from the Dairy State. Buskers
