And the Desert Calls My Name Lyrics

And the desert calls my name
Empty but feared by many
Godlike in the waste I am
Cherish this forever

Loneliness is my kingdom
Emptiness is my seat of kings
My dreaming is my escape
My wisdom drinks from fear

And the night haunts my soul
Filled with reverence and terror
The souls of dead encircle me
As I slowly pass away…
Death is closing my weary eyes
Sweet is her touch when we are alone
Together as lovers counting the hours
Of final tenderness before the dawn

And the desert calls my name
In deadly silence I take my throne
Cherish this leaving forever…
As I never did
