This Barren Land |
| I took the children by the hand |
| Promised to show them all that God had planned |
| So sad but true, this moral maze |
| Betrays the innocence of bygone days |
| You can’t hold back the march of time, I said |
| You can’t hold back the march of time |
| This blood stained desert road on which we stand |
| Is testament to man |
| This barren land |
| Our song of joy, the countryside |
| Radiant fields forever glowed with pride |
| That once were blessed as golden shires |
| Now bear the sad remains of funeral pyres |
| You can’t hold back the march of time, I said |
| You can’t hold back the march of time |
| This wicked wilderness in which we stand |
| Is testament to man |
| This barren land |
| You can’t hold back the march of time, I said |
| You can’t hold back the march of time |
| This way of no return |
| Is testament to man |
| This barren land |
| On sullen shores we make our peace |
| We pray that the howling wind will someday cease |
| The waves of power can never bend |
| They ever take their course until the end |
| You can’t hold back the march of time, I said |
| You can’t hold back the march of time |
| This crumbling cliff top path on which we stand |
| Is testament to man |
| This barren land |
