And so it ends
The way that it started
With one lonely candle and an ocean that parted
A night in the desert with no one to warm
The place in my heart that weathered the storm
A climb up the mountain where something's on fire
A new list of laws to temper desire
At the edge of a cliff with a pen in my hand
Looking for Satan in the promised land

And so it is over
Just like it began
With the wink of an eye like a flash in the pan
At the brink of disaster in line with the night
A blind man on crutches who's losing his sight
In the alley of death with a bottle of rum
Some soggy newspaper and yesterday's gum
Blood mixed with sweat as it dries on my lips
Swollen blue eyes that once tasted her hips
At the edge of a puddle of ashes and sand
Looking for Satan in the promised land

And so it's completed
Just like it was christened
With a melody aching when nobody listened
With a song in the night and nobody singing
The church is on fire but the bells are still ringing
The sermon is over
The message has died
Stranded in silence the truth even lied
To the prince and his dog buying time from a fool
While the princess gave up and broke every rule
At the edge of a nightmare unborn and unmanned
Looking for Satan in the promised land

And so it ends
The way that it started
With one lonely candle and an ocean that parted
A night in the desert with no one to warm
A place in my heart that weathered the storm
A climb up the mountain where something's on fire
A new list of laws to temper desire
At the edge of a cliff with a pen in my hand
Looking for Satan in the promised land
Where is he now?
He's in the promised land
I saw him somehow
In the promised land
In the promised land
Were you looking for Satan here in the promised land?
