lyrics

I can't hear the gods out in the desert
ninety miles between temples stretching towards the heavens
I wasn't prepared to be forsaken
hiss of an exhale, no breath taken
God every god has a sacred four letter name
some speak in tongues, others in numbers mundane
I wasn't prepared to be forsaken
hiss of an exhale, no breath taken

Ninety miles, ninety minutes
crossing the wasteland, crossing the Styx
in a space out of time I follow the signs
faith alone guides my way
Ninety miles, ninety minutes
through the wilds, through the wilderness
I hear a voice, a whisper in the void
drawing me close like a torch in the night

The distance takes a toll
I'm so tired my eyes want to close
I don't know the words for where I am
I wasn't prepared to be forsaken
fate of an exile, no offense taken

Ninety miles, ninety minutes
crossing the wasteland, crossing the Rubicon
in a space out of time I follow the signs
faith alone guides my way
Ninety miles, ninety minutes
through the winds, through the hinterlands
I hear a voice, a whisper in the void
drawing me close like a torch in the night

God every god has a four letter name
some speak in tongues and others in numbers
