Wasteland

[Verse 1]
He could never stand up
'Til he had to run
Finger on the trigger
Of an empty gun

[Pre-Chorus]
Look at the mess he's gotten into
No way to dig out, no way to pull through
Look at his world, it swirls and spins
He's whirled around on every new wind

[Chorus]
Out of the wasteland, into the burning hands
Of another land undiscovered
Out of the prison, into the lion's den
Oh, he goes into the unknown

[Verse 2]
Well, she was on an upswing
In the spring of life
Dancing on a tight rope
'Til he brought the knife

[Pre-Chorus]
Look at the mess she's gotten into
No way to foresee, no way to undo
Look at the mess he's gotten her in
Her grave was dug before love began

[Chorus]
Out of the wasteland, into the burning hands
Of another land undiscovered
Out of the prison, into the lion's den
Oh, he goes into the unknown

[Bridge]
Round and round, there's no escape
Upon this tilt-a-whirl
At last he makes a leap of faith
For a nameless girl

You'll never feel the rumble
On the carousel
Laughing drowns the thunder
On your way to hell

[Chorus]
Out of the wasteland, into the burning hands
Of another land undiscovered
Out of the prison, into the lion's den
Oh, he goes into the unknown
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
