Desert Nights

There was no space in my tiny cell

It was as close as can be to Hell

Went to a shrink to get some

Terrorist slayer; kill or be done

Lonely was the sniper

Nice and clean that July day

Patriot hearts were burning

I wonder why we are the plague

And not the salt here on the earth

I'll remember that day, for what that is worth

Turn off the light

Hiding in the desert nights

The sky is on fire

We're out of sight

I still remember

Women and wine, pleasure to find

In the desert night

He wasn't honored with medals of gold

He only did what he'd been told

This will go on forever

Power play justice; kill or be done

Saved by all the violence

Now replaced by someone else

Juveniles on vacation

I wonder why; was he the one

And how come all made the mistake

No one cried on that day he was sent away

Turn off the light

Hiding in the desert nights

The sky is on fire

We're out of sight

I still remember

Women and wine, pleasure to find

In the desert night
