Up from the sands of the mighty Sahara comes,
    A                                 D
Our hero bold, who so it's told, is a lot like you and me.
His passion burns, the world it turns,
   G
He fills his hand to fill the void,
    A
And fuels the constant feeling,
   D
Of nothingness inside his soul.

G                  D
Feels like nothing ever did.
G                  D
Kills like nothing ever could.
G
Dark and jaded world I hated,
D
Everything I left behind.
G
I don't need you, and I don't want you,
D
World that left me blind.

D                               G
Beneath the sands of the mighty Sahara lies,
A                               D
Buried treasure sunken deep, in darkened tombs where dead men sleep.
D
Gold fills hands, or is it sand,
    G
The same that covers everything?
      A
Where cities stood, soon deserts found,
    D
Now sink beneath the swelling ground.

G                  D
Feels like nothing ever did.
G                  D
Kills like nothing ever could.
G
Dark and jaded world I hated,
D
Everything I left behind.
G
I don't need you, and I don't want you,
D
World that left me blind.

This world is for the taking,

Plastic bags of novacain,

Some PCP to kill the pain.

Build a tomb to store your rust,

Moth-eaten piles of blowing dust.

Under the sands of the mighty Sahara,
         A                              D
Goes our hero bold, in seach of gold, a casket for a dying world.
D
Our hero stands, wealth in hand,
    G
The prize for his endeavors.
    A
The masses cheer, to hide their fears
     D
That no man lives forever.

G                  D
Feels like nothing ever did.
G                  D
Kills like nothing ever could.

I don't need you, and I don't want you,

World that left me blind.
