[Instrumental intro]

[Verse]
Heat waves dance on the endless sand
Boots sinking deep where no man can stand
Cactus shadows stretch and bend
No beginning here and no known end

[Verse 2]
Dust clings tight like a lover’s hand
Sunburned skin
I can barely withstand
The vultures laugh
Circling high
Every breath tastes like a goodbye

[Chorus]
Sweat in the desert
Salt on my brow
Living in the moment
Only the now
Cracked lips whisper what the wind won’t allow
Sweat in the desert
I’ll survive somehow

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
Mirages tease with a fleeting gleam
Chasing rivers that are only a dream
Every mile is a battle of wills
Every dune’s another mountain to kill

[Bridge]
The stars will rise
And the cold will creep
The desert’s secrets it’s sworn to keep
But I’m alive
My heart still beats
This savage land won’t see defeat

[Chorus]
Sweat in the desert
Salt on my brow
Living in the moment
Only the now
Cracked lips whisper what the wind won’t allow
Sweat in the desert
I’ll survive somehow

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
Sweat in the desert
Salt on my brow
Living in the moment
Only the now
Cracked lips whisper what the wind won’t allow
Sweat in the desert
I’ll survive somehow

[Big finish]
[End]
