Arch Enemy
Fields of Desolation ’99
[Verse 1]
On the fields of desolation
We are all alone
Crying in each other's arms
In fear of the unknown
Feelings of uncertainty
We're all doomed
To live in solitude
And never ending gloom

[Chorus]
On the fields of desolation
Eternal life or termination

[Refrain]
Why won't you cover me?
I need your sanctuary
This sea I'm drowning in
Might be where the end begins

[Verse 2]
In times of grief and sadness
We're searching for the light
Seek for a place of safety
Seek for a place to hide
God turned his back on man
Divine resignation
Torn between two beliefs
Eternal life or termination
[Chorus]
On the fields of desolation
Eternal life or termination

[Refrain]
Why won't you cover me?
I need your sanctuary
This sea I'm drowning in
Might be where the end begins

[Verse 3]
As we drown in darkness
Weak and depraved
On our final journey
Too late to be saved
We've gone through places
Where the cold winds blow
Is this the end of it all?
I don't know, I don't know

[Chorus]
On the fields of desolation
Eternal life or termination

[Refrain]
Why won't you cover me?
I need your sanctuary
This sea I'm drowning in
Might be where the end begins
