braxton keith – cold hard steel and sand lyrics

when the wind blows through this desert
it moans a desperate howl
a sound to warn of a coming storm
from deep within the ground
calling out to every shadow this dry and thirsty land
blood and bone dust and stone
cold hard steel and sand

halfway between fort worth and el paso
thats the big spring and big lake
lies a place upon our planet where old satan’s army landed
from down to earth from heavens holy grace
one third of all the angels broke their bones upon the basin
blood soaked into the stone thick and black
they gave us fame wealth and power and its paid out by the hour
you take it son there ain’t no turning back
santa rita number one blocking out the evenin’ sun
sound of thunder booming under sand
people came from far and wide to watch it rain down from the sky
drilling deep beneath the reach of mortal man
the angels they did mourn when that sacred bell was torn
lifeblood pumped from planetary crust
that petroleum did flow from the permeant below
and the buildings made of stone rose up from dust

derricks made from cold hard steel rusting in the open fields
where the pump jacks used to bow their heads and pray
in the light of every rising sun
here on earth thy will be done
as it is in heaven every day
spirits roam this barren land
disguised as blowing desert sand
carried on the western prairie wind
waiting for the lightning flash, the rising smoke, the smell of ash
crash of thunder underground again
when the wind blows this desert
it moans a desperate howl
a sound to warn of a coming storm
from deep within the ground
calling out to every shadow this dry and thirsty land
blood and bone dust and stone
cold hard steel and sand

blood and bone dust and stone
cold hard steel and sand
