|
Years of writing books |
|
Long behind him now |
|
A nihilistic confidence and a smile upon his face |
|
Johnny Marinville and his |
|
Harley through the desert |
|
One last ride to make him feel young again |
|
He came back from |
|
Vietnam Only one to escape the bomb |
|
That tore apart the bar in which he drank with hi friends. |
|
Living with the question |
|
Of why he was the sole survivor |
|
Fighting the dreams that plague him |
|
And wondering when they'll end |
|
This cynic smiles and feels the wind |
|
As he speeds by the policeman on the road |
|
He stopped and beaten, thrown in the cell |
|
With the others the bleeding cop has found |
|
Collie takes the one |
|
The boy's mom |
|
Ellie And drags her screaming away |
|
Young David |
|
Prays to the |
|
God he found |
|
When his friend, run-down, lie dying in his arms |
|
And with his faith, the boys escapes |
|
And frees the desert's other captives |
|
The stumble across |
|
David's dead sister |
|
And they bury her with tears in their eyes |
|
Only boy, only a man |
|
Drawn together in |
|
God's plan |
|
In the desert, purposes emerge |
|
All are here to love and serve |
|
All across this desert town |
|
They see the butchered bodies of the dead |
|
What could have caused this hell on earth? |
|
Just what evil made this madness happen? |
|
As even as they hide |
|
Tak returns |
|
Possessing now a different body |
