At My Doorstep

When I get out of this deep old desert, I will kneel down and dig my hands into the dirt

Find myself a village, and I will pawn off all I got for all I'm worth

Have you ever been a child and seen it all go wild, from your perch between the land and the shining sea

I know these walls are gonna crumble and fall, and it's all gonna come right back around on me

I'm the fool to keep holding on when I know it's all long gone, it's all long gone

Hell is at my doorstep, I can't come home

Hell is at my doorstep, I can't come back

I can hear the trumpets from a mile away, I can feel them call and shake the fragile ground

As they hammer on and the sun's long gone, I know I'll never quite forget the sound

My Lord he's there in a diner somewhere, observing all the smoke that's in the air
