It was a summer night
New mexico
Riding toward the light
Of home

Two spirits in a dream
We interloped
The figment of a king
The prophet wrote

A man in black appeared
And as he spoke
Our world began to quake
And smoke

Oh, enchantment
The land of the serpent
Purgatorio
Through the valley of death I go

Stranded in a dream
New mexico
A mirage it seemed
The thought of home

Oh, enchantment
The land of the serpent
Purgatorio
Through the valley of death I go

The angels clapped their hands
One was made of stone said
"climb upon my back
I'll take you home"

Oh, enchantment
The land of the serpent
Purgatorio
Through the valley of death I go

Oh, enchantment
The land of the serpent
Purgatorio
Through the valley of death I go

It was a summer night
New mexico
