We left our lives under burning soil
Rode through the desert sands
On a trail of dust and bones
For the promised land

We used to dream of better days

Haunting screams of forgotten souls
Shadows turned to ash
The foreign land that we used to know
Shattered in a burning flash

We used to dream of better days

As we look through our window
Down on the street
There were twelve thousand lives there
Twelve thousand dreams
How I wonder who they were
Are they truly lost?

As we look through our window
Down on the street
There were twelve thousand lives there
Twelve thousand dreams
How I wonder who they were
Are they truly lost?
