Sand (lyrics for a song)

I woke up in a pit of sand
A darkened world with blunted land
Full of darkness mystery
An unbeknownst old history
And lifted myself from off the ground
Flickered my eyes round and round
Saw nothing but decay and death
And just kept looking holding breath

I wandered like a broken watch
Amidst the aching land of rot
Waiting for light or life or faith
Lingering lost and like a wraith

I guess it started long ago
the sun was high and the weeds were low
Before the age of hate and war
When love existed, but nevermore
The skies all shrieked like dying birds
The plains eradicated all the herds
And men became like primal beasts
And hell was real, not just for priests

The bombs went off and lit the world
And holy ghosts were then unfurled
As men yelled out and cried to god
Cause we were dead, decayed and flawed

I wandered like a broken watch
Amidst the aching land of rot
Waiting for light or life or faith
Lingering lost and like a wraith

And I'm coming to terms with the idea
I might not exist
