   I come from a land of wide open spaces
  Where the world turns around us and we just follow suit
  There's heat in the air and peace reigns supreme
  Got white flags on the clothes lines and the deals are new
  
  In the wind
  The ashes fly
  The poison crown
  The charcoal ground
  
  And if you can't see the smile in me, that's where I wanna be
  
  There's only God
  There's only Christ
  Think I'll lie down for just a while
  
  And the grass became granite
  And the sky a black sheet
  Our bed was a graveyard
  We couldn't feel our blistered feet
  And the moaning and groaning and sighing of death
  And the silence that followed
  And the very harsh reality
  
  So watch and check them out and listen as we learn
  Throw the pearls before the swine ebb and flow, turning tide
  Yes we watch and catch them no matter how they jump
  The pigs will have to come to ground, we've got to make it happen
  It's really not that new, try and make it happen now
  'cos what are we to do, maybe there's a chance for you
  
  All around
  An eerie sound
  Their dreams a cloud
  Their world in shrouds
  In the wind
  The ashes fly
  Not much time
  But time to try
  And if you can't see the smile in me, that's cos I wanna be
  I want to be here at the end. I have to be here at the end
