Dustland Hymn Lyrics by Impulse Machine

Exterior

2023

[Intro]
Mercy calling for the mad man screaming
Mercy coming from the dead god dreaming
You can bite your tongue you can hide and run
But you never come back from the Dustlands
[Verse 1]
Black rain coming down oh my
Everybody’s saying that we all gon’ die
Black rain everybody get hurt
Rattle at your chains but it ain't gon' work
Now the roots burn deep set the ground on fire
And the night sky’s enough to drive a killer insane
There’s a face in the sand shouting nowhere man
And the wind is alive and it knows your name
[Verse 2]
Can you smell the lamb’s meat cooking on thе spit
Burning on the bonfire pouring red winе (swallow it down)
Pillars of basalt crack the ground and the walls
Of the inside cliffside (pour another round)
You can never feel pain I say
All the memories fade one day
You take a sharp left turn at the end of the world
You might find yourself in the Dustlands
[Chorus]
Singing mercy calling for the mad man screaming
Mercy coming from the dead god dreaming
You can spit your lungs at the mindless sun
But you never come back from the Dustlands
[Verse 3]
(My god) it’s a long way down now
(My god) it’s a goddamn shame
(My god) isn’t taking any calls now
(My god) don’t have no name
It’s hard in the Dustlands
Ain’t no one gonna save you in the Dustlands
Every step you take playing dice with fate
And you're never gonna win ‘cause they own that game
It’s hard like an obelisk
Like the bat-winged thing in the necropolis
Someone scratched your name in a black stone grave
In a plot at the center of the Dustlands
[Chorus]
Screaming mercy calling for the mad man screaming
Mercy coming from the dead god dreaming
You can bring your gun you can beat your drum
But you never come back from the Dustlands
[Verse 4]
(Praise) the one who, in the darkness
(Preys) on the deaf and the blind and lame
(Praise) the man with his eyes burned out who
(Prays) to the god who broke his cane
Spent eight years in the backrooms
Crawling up the walls ‘cause I had to
I danced and sang in a land called Leng
Crying at the sound of the pan flute
I stepped between reflections
Carcosa's brutal with its twin suns
I saw my sign at the edge of time
But I won’t set foot in the Dustlands
[Chorus]
There’s no mercy calling for the mad man screaming
Mercy coming from the dead god dreaming
You can bite your tongue you can hide and run
But you never come back from the Dustlands
[Banjo Solo]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 5]
Call the priest grab the holy water
Strap down grab the crucifix
She’s cleaning off her knives for the slaughter
Call a black mass just in case
I took a bite of a Smith and Wesson
Spent time in hell for a lesson
The devil let me go said I had no soul
Said I lost it back in the Dustlands
[Chorus]
There ain't no mercy calling for the mad man screaming
No mercy coming from the dead god dreaming
But you never come back, no you never come back
No you never come back, no you never come back from the
(There's no motherfucking) mercy for the mad man screaming
Mercy coming from the dead god dreaming
You’ve been out too long and it feels like home
And you’ll never come back from the Dustlands
