lyrics

I walked till the feet bled
I wished this desert would swallow me whole
Born in the fire, born of this war
born to stomp roads onto the horizons
let me become part of the sand, part of the air

If I could save, I would stay
I could stay, I would save

Dirt and dust and blood and hate
Fed on the carrion, fed on the scraps
I once found god in this flame
but he left this place long ago

If I could save, I would stay
If I could stay, I would save

God bless the vulture king.
God bless the carrion prince.
Gold bless the sand that I baptized in blood

I would build a million miles of wall to keep your hate out
and I would build a million homes for you to burn them down

I will not drown I will not stay I will never be
the scraps in the belly of the sand
for the river runs deep but I will swim.
