Unlovable Animals - Red Dirt

It's been days now since I lost my way
Towards the eastern station
My horse i've shot and butchered
But it's thirst that first will kill me

A cruel sun beats down on me
Above the twisted trees
And mountains seem to move and sway
I am their play thing

The things i've done to stake my claim
I hope the lord can forgive me
Is mercy close?
For I just stumbled the path he chose to give me

A chill falls across the land
As orange fades to grey
The creatures come to laugh at me
In my disarray

I think of my wife and child
The hardships they will suffer
As the red dirt rises up
And drags me under

And here I stay, to carve my name
In the ghostly gums
And watch the word, grow heavy
With concrete, and metal
'Till the waves rise high
Washing us all
Back to his side
