KejaR - The Uninvited Guest
It was the darkest part of the desert nightJust before the dawn when the spirits wander
And a deep foreboding darkness
Smothered out the star lights in the sky
It crept down from the desert hills
And spread out on the plains and the space beyond it
Where it wrapped its cold embrace around the lives
Of those who chose this place to die
In the distance something howled in a low and mournful sound
On the wind a voice was whispering cleanse this hallowed ground
And mothers grabbed their babies and held them to their breasts
As the thunder cracked, a flash split through the night
It's the uninvited guest
This land first takes the weak and weary
But the balance of survival can be shaped by other means
And there are those that come to feed on carrion
And hide behind the blackness of the night
Too many go to wait or claim their rights in this foreign place
Where they are watched by eyes unseen
And they overtax the delicate structure that preserves this way of life
And that's not right
In the distance something howled in a low and mournful sound
On the wind a voice was whispering cleanse this hallowed ground
And mothers grabbed their babies and held them to their breasts
As the thunder cracked, a flash split through the night
It's the uninvited guest
The desert is a place of life from death
And it gives no quarter or favor even in the face of sin
And those that seek to change it for their own purposes
End up no worse or better than those who live by its laws
In the scorching daylight, everything seeks its own cover
Until the shadows come and spread the darkness once again
And then the nocturnal ones move warily in search of prey
But in deathly fear of what their search may cost
In the distance something howled in a low and mournful sound
On the wind a voice was whispering cleanse this hallowed ground
And mothers grabbed their babies and held them to their breasts
As the thunder cracked, a flash split through the night
It's the uninvited guest
It's the uninvited guest
