Wishbone Ash - Rest In Peace Lyrics

I found that I had been across the desert space,
Saw all the people behind a naked face.

I held out my hand,
Hoping you'd be there.
I could not understand all the reasons why
Faces from the past looking me in the eye.

Now the light has come
Breaking form the east
Someday we can find somewhere
To rest in peace.

I lost my control,
In a nightmare of being
Just a lonely soul
Without a hanging cross,
Standing all alone
Watching the lightning flash
