Lyrics
It's now, or it's never And I've got to make my decision This time, it could be my moment Is this a mirage, or a chance to fulfill my mission?

A river in a dry land the laughters in a lost head A heartbeat for a demon Oasis in a strange land

I'm giving the balance, better find them, on the razor's edge now Real quick, or my life is over One strike disobeying them, I'm out of his real dark vision Don't ask why I'm ready, but I'm ready to strike them down now And just at a new start, there's no time for indecision

A river in a dry land the laughters in a lost head When the hope of new beginnings burn our feet, now we need it A heartbeat for a demon Oasis in a strange land Remind us what we're here for: Creating new life Creating rivers in the desert!

My heart is a furnace How to settle it, my world of conflict? Once it goes, what keeps me going? Take back what I lost to the bosses of greed and fear, yeah Don't ask why I'm ready, but I'm ready to take them down now That time for a new start, it's constantly drawing nearer

A river in a dry land the laughters in a lost head When the hope of new beginnings burn our feet, now we need it A heartbeat for a demon Oasis in a strange land Remind us what we're here for: Creating new life Creating rivers in the desert!

When a cool drop of water's all I need Gotta clear my head of anger and greed A place to refresh Heart of mine, can't I find some time in...

Rivers in a dry land the laughters in a lost head When the hope of new beginnings burn our feet, now we need it A heartbeat for a demon Oasis in a strange land Remind us what we're here for: Creating new life Creating rivers in the desert!
