To the middle of the desert
Where they've never seen the rain
We took the expedition
We'd never be the same again

Time took on new meaning
As the sun roasted our souls
Evaluation of the water
Evaluation of our goals

There's something in the distance
And I think I see some trees
But I can't be sure if this is real
Is that water on the leaves?

Come on let's get there quickly
And set up for the night
We should be safe from everything
We know we're in the right

We trample on their culture
We trample on their souls
We pay no heed to anything
We have our stated goals

And it's all about what we can do
To make things so much better
Destroy the lives we come across
We do it by the letter
