Redemption - Desperation, Part I Lyrics
Peter and Mary, drive cross-countryEntering Desperation, NevadaRed lights flash and their destines changedAs the patrol car pulls behind themCollie Etrangian, arm of the lawStops them and searches the back of their carThere in the trunk, some drugs in a bagAnd they find themselves arrestedPulled them over, to the side of the roadWith a body that's bloated and bursting; too old"We'll get this sorted out in DesperationTak!Hated is burning, under his skinAnd an evil power that eats from withinHe bleeds from his eyes as he drives them byThe biggest mine in North AmericaTechnology working anew in the depthsThe soul of the mine now disturbed from its restAnswers will be found in DesperationThere's a little dead girl, lying on the steps of the jailAnd Collie guns down Peter as he stares into her eyesThe Carver family hears the shot from the cellAnd wonders why their daughter had to dieRalph and Ellie Carter, and their son, David, tooStaring from within the cell like animals in a zooSomething brought them here to DesperationWith them is Tom, the only one from the townHis alcoholic's spirit is beaten and worn downAnd Mary joins this group in Desperation.
