Under the Diamond Savage Sun

Under the diamond savage sun Brutal temperatures proved too much Mounting higher in the sweltering inferno Elements can take your life to that degree The horse died a few miles back Lack of water, oxygen and a will to continue Or life itself simply did it in It appears I'm next to wither in this sea of sand Four days baking under a blinding light Brilliant down to the hell it is Relentless, endless, punishing Face scorched, burnt red, blistered, close to death Tongue swollen, throat parched, unable to whisper Nothing to eat or drink, only pounding heat Orange burning sand driving me down Sinking with it is all that's left The desert inferno turned on most things living Changed them into dust as dry as it is Sucked out the bone right to the marrow To the core of desert death Souls rest while vultures feast On a hot meal in a hellish landscape That's all there is Under the diamond savage sun Existing as it is
