Against the Desert

Skirmish: Desert - use it as a noun... (@robinleaf)
Liner Notes
Lyrics at deadline...demo to follow. Desert as in a literal or figurative place where there's always a threat.
And, here it is: #skirmish #rock #protest #fullproduction #guywithguitar
Comments appreciated - spoiler alert: this could be retained dreams from reading George R.R. Martin, could be Palestine, could be #political, could be #LAFires. Or an intellectual desert that allows bad things to happen. Those thoughts were all running in my head, but I'm curious about how they'll be taken.
Lyrics
AGAINST THE DESERT (c. 2025 raspberry33)
VERSE 1:
My home is my oasis in a land of Fire and Blood
Nine free cities to defend Against the desert
V2:
We sensed danger in the wind and shifting of sands
But protected by magic we’d win Against the desert
We were focused on the sands, but not the sky
CHORUS:
No one, no one was ready to deal with a dragon.
The walls we built quickly melted in the dragon's breath
Refusing to name names won't cast off a dragon
And the desert still surrounds us
V3:
It's clear that our defenses Weren't up to the task
We didn’t plan for such a long siege
Supplies are running out our attention has lapsed
Once again, we have to run in the desert (How many years?)
V4:
There’s beauty in the desert if you know where to look
There are secrets you will find in the desert.
Are there camel tracks - that would show the way back
From wandering around in the desert.
>CHORUS

This whole thing is fantastic though. The mix lets you hear all of the layers (I assume cuz there's lots happening). So so so great 👏 👏 👏
