Redemption - Desperation, Part II Lyrics
Years of writing booksLong behind him nowA nihilistic confidence and a smile upon his faceJohnny Marinville and his Harley through the desertOne last ride to make him feel young againHe came back from VietnamOnly one to escape the bombThat tore apart the bar in which he drank with hi friends.Living with the questionOf why he was the sole survivorFighting the dreams that plague himAnd wondering when they'll endThis cynic smiles and feels the windAs he speeds by the policeman on the roadHe stopped and beaten, thrown in the cellWith the others the bleeding cop has foundCollie takes the oneThe boy's mom EllieAnd drags her screaming awayYoung David Prays to the God he foundWhen his friend, run-down, lie dying in his armsAnd with his faith, the boys escapesAnd frees the desert's other captivesThe stumble acrossDavid's dead sisterAnd they bury her with tears in their eyesOnly boy, only a manDrawn together in God's planIn the desert, purposes emergeAll are here to love and serveAll across this desert townThey see the butchered bodies of the deadWhat could have caused this hell on earth?Just what evil made this madness happen?As even as they hideTak returnsPossessing now a different body
