lyrics

A desert rose
Scorching in the heat
Why make it thirst for the weak

In doesn't matter what's on your mind
Fight me with your will
Not the reign of desire

Light burns away
We never see
In the line of a fire
Unreserved energy

It doesn't matter what's on your mind
Fight me with your will
Not the reign of your smile

We find the time
This coloured light
What's left to try
Before the time we say goodbye

A desert rose
Scorching in the heat
Why make it thirst for the weak

It doesn't matter what's on your mind
Fight me with your will
Not the rain of your smile

Desert roads
Rolling in the heat
What makes it burn for the weak

Love blurs away
What we don't see

Running into the tide
Of a worn history
