Heat burns the stage
Boiling blood rages
Story of hate
Carved deep in our faces

The desert just died
No echoes of life to hear
No mercy in our eyes
Hearts beating that don't know fear

Once you smiled at me
With eyes so cold
Now this melody
Haunts your soul

Once upon a time
When the desert glowed
Through your fading mind
My melody echoed
Through your gritted teeth
No words of regret
Joined my melody
When destiny never fails to forget

Dirge rang so loud
When you made me play it
On shoulders once proud
Brother slowly faded

This tune of revenge
You once carved in my soul
Now the score on the stage
Your final role

Once you smiled at me
While I played this song
Now death himself
Plays your melody all along

Once upon a time
When the desert glowed
Through your fading mind
My melody echoed
Through your gritted teeth
No words of regret
Joined my melody
When destiny never fails to forget
Never fails to forget

Final curtain fell
Eyes now grown cold
The silence of death
Song so old

Once upon a time
When the desert glowed
Through your fading mind
My melody echoed
Through your gritted teeth
No words of regret
Joined my melody
When destiny never fails to forget

Now you hear it sound
Can't you hear it's sound?

And as the last light fades
By time's cruel hand
Only I remember
Who's the last to stand
