Purveyor

the paper came in today
sunny morning, hope was led astray
the fever has started to spread
aspiring demons in my head

gold found in Sutter`s mill
sensation yet so far away
a steady fire was lid
desire, seek a new beginning

death valley, fate of the damned
death valley, take us to the promised land

prepare as good as you can
though in the end you might plough the sand
tough luck every single day
a shortcut, the stars will lead our way

no fear of the voyage ahead
tempt my fate, take another step
a journey straight through abyss
for those who prevail

heaven awaits and a distant paradise gleams
waiting to serve all out needs
it leads us back to the
roots of our compliant life so believe
we`ll cross the valley of death

in the desert, beset by doubts
all the comrades easily aroused
best oxen refuse to arise
and the warnings echo in my mind

bare mountain lighted by sun
a giant maze in which the puppets run
the weak are left behind
one by one to god they plead that

heaven awaits and a distant paradise gleams
waiting to serve all out needs
it leads us back to the
roots of our compliant life so believe
we`ll cross the valley of death

death valley, fate of the damned
death valley, take us to the promised land

heaven awaits and a distant paradise gleams
waiting to serve all out needs
it leads us back to the
roots of our compliant life so believe
trapped in the valley of death
as far as eye can reach
