The Devil to Pay in the Backlands
Sit down, pull up that old chair My story is long I need some time to tell you You must know That life is dangerous Where blood and flesh Face endless misery Excuse me my dear sir Here the devil lives in our sorrow Do you believe there’s a Whistler Or you believe there’s just a key that turns Inside us all Let the sun burn it all Let the dryland swallow All the glory and misery In the smoke of a barrel All the souls, I’ve crossed them all And the crosses on their graves Dig in to me and you'll find How much life's gone Excuse me my dear sir Hope you use all your foreign perception Do you believe there’s a price sir? Is there something that buys our soul? I don't think so The devil is in our own choices Let the sun burn it all Let the dryland swallow All the glory and misery In the smoke of a barrel All the souls, I’ve crossed them all And the crosses on their graves Dig in to me and you'll find How much life's gone Fear I have Not of facing death But witness the dawn of life In this devilish world With no devil at all With no one to blame And that is the rule: Either you rule the land Or damned backland will rule you

Our false lights Here on the ground Lights blur the sky So denied of that shine We forgot the moon Our superb Far from your lie Where I can see How small we are And how fast we Are fading Settlement of death The lies who came from the sea Wind whispers his truth Since he’s not depending on us Who’ll live or die Somehow I know this glow is blinding us (leave it all behind) Further away from your blue another day goes by I know Thеre are few of us who see clеarer in the dark Who would feast among the dark clouds Will endure what may come That’s what life is like Handful of nothing Heart full of strength Wiser to watch the sky Wind whispers his truth Since he is not depending on us Who will live or die Somehow I know this glow is blinding us (leave it all behind) Further away from your blue another day goes by Somehow I know Glimpses of our fate are fading away Sight Glimpse of our fate The sound of the stars comes crashing down Into mad sea Finally It unveils all hopes in me

Beyond the sea smile If you could see The plague where hope starves Scent of night filled with laughter Shatter the night sky Can't you see Now our essence is fading While soil is getting gray Tell me why someone's willing to change it all Endless crops farming fear Welcome to the land of light Breaking chains like no other before Sailing the sins till the break of dawn Delightful lies at the bitter price Say a word of equality For those who rot in misery All we know will never be enough Let us break through the void of scorn Free of your deception Let us thrive Let us be what we've been denied to be Which bottle of scotch doesn't taste like our tears? Distilled in presumption Who bears the weight of a wasteland Are the ones who drown far away from those sins See We are the ones Who could fight you Living aside Till our vengeance reaps out Welcome to the land of light Sailing the sins till the break of dawn Say a word of equality For those who rot in misery All we know will never be enough Let us break through the void of scorn Free of your deception Let us thrive Let us be what we've been denied to be Say a word of equality Let us break through the void of scorn Live a life See the break of dawn We've never been allowed to make it Let us be what we've been denied to be Realized insufficiency of freedom

Died alone Struggling with the sun Another carcass sold the soul To the hungry ground under terrible blue sky Disguised as its beauty Another bone to vulture’s crown For those who fade in sunlight The emptiness shows me what to do Against the wind, I resist and stay I’m not the first to watch it terrified But I’ll be the last to say goodbye Till the end of me And till lose it all What we have started We’ll finish Even the drought end When the first drop falls So hold on to me, please One day, even the scourge will rest in peace We did not come here to give up now Here is the one who won't be broken Here's where the sun rips out the weakness in me Even when faith surrenders Until the last thread of strength A sip of fire To celebrate the end Ashes and smoke To light my own star Burning star Dying star Burning star Till the end of me And till lose it all What we have started We’ll finish Even the drought end When the first drop falls So hold on to me, please One day even the scourge will rest in peace We did not come here to give up now Hope's rebirth Tears are falling from the sky (Falling down) Scars of drought Maculate the green Strong scent of living soil alive Drops of life making the earth pregnant again Welcome the darkened sky Black clouds ending the sun’s reign Near the end of me And almost lost The pain imposed was finished Even the drought ends When the first drop falls So hold on to me, please (Hold on) Today the scourge is resting in peace We've got this far Nothing will break us now

You, forever you Bring destruction and bring life Silently we wait for another lie All the scars drew this soil that knew death just enough Vengeful star With one hand gives With the other takes away Pulling me to dance the devil's waltz There's no hope in you Old shine, bronze skin, curse of having to be Strong and strike up old feuds we deal with lead and blood Rise Rise once again Shine on the ruins You can't kill this stoic soul Eat from the ashes Rupture the grounds You only kill what’s alive You have always imprisoned my will, now I rise for me 'Cause I know my resolve can’t be destroyed as it’s all I am
