lyrics

A harsh wind blows across the dusty plains as the sun presses down on you like a heavy weight. You tip your hat back and wipe the dust from your face, unsure whether or not the earth has soaked into your skin and become a part of it. If you aren’t able to find another source of water, your village will wither and die like a sun-cooked grape on the vine.

After days in the wasteland, what little water you had is running dry. But . . . to turn back would mean exposing yourself again to the harshest of conditions. You wonder - Is death waiting for you in the dunes and the ravines? And the Tech-wolves are always hungry. Would it be better to lay down now and let the them claim you? You pull out the picture of your son, gone these four years and take a moment just to remember. To hold those memories close and block out the stark danger of the present. Suddenly, the distorted howls of the Tech wolves echo in the canyon. There is nothing left for you behind you. You know you must go on, farther from your home, farther from everything you’ve known.

To live, you must go on.
