In virgin country, untrodden ground
Many a bragged tells of untold riches to be found
Snake oil salesmen, liars and spies
Rank opportunists
Yes, they'll rape the world of all i gives
The scent of fortune, a gilded seam
Chthonian splendour wrapped up
in the aura of a dream
A man and his story, wild claim at that
The mother of all lodes; is it true?
No! He's a desert brat

The threat of trust he left behind
The lure of lucre made him blind
A charlatan of heavy rock
No metal, no shock

The blackest of trackers, with the keenest of eyes
For all the backers, none could find
a semblance of the prize
Endless horizons - no reef in sight
Parched and wasted;
who could blame a man for taking flight?
Erratic and scattered, like the shifting sands
Madness a mercy only he who's lost all understands
Dead and dejected, a wretched fate
The reef is still out there,
teasing those who'll take the bait

The threat of trust he left behind
The lure of lucre made him blind
A charlatan of heavy rock
No metal, no shock

A desert brat
Bedevilled rat
A desert brat
How about that?
