NO MAN'S LAND

I've roamed this land a thousand years
and seen your reign of doom
My tears, they fall like bitter rain
through all the waste and ruin

The essence of forgotten men
they linger in the sky
for all that's mine
my wrath is blind
I want to come home to stay

The cries of sadness never heard
fall deaf upon your ears
The stench of madness,
rage and war
has come from your kind for a million years

You cast your shadow upon the dead
with victory in your eyes
The pits of hell they swallow you down
my dreams that made you die

In the wind your words are dust
the lakes are all my tears
open your eyes, can't you see
my people just want to be free

This is No Man's Land
This is No Man's Land
Can you hear me cry,
No Man's Land
