Lyrics:

Where only dust in dry rivers flow there’s a place the outcast go
to find a shelter from the storm amongst the slabs and desert bones
the last outpost

It’s a land that lies poisoned still
by greed and war its had its fill
those there are a reflection still,
living testament to their god’s terrible will
at the last outpost of the lost ones

Here honor counts more than lies, you hear the wild dog spirit’s cries
Here the wild dog’s spirit lies

We came because we felt we must,
breathed the air and poisoned dust
they came to trust us in a way at last,
we became troubadors for the outcast
at the last outpost

Here honor counts more than lies, you hear the wild dog spirit’s cries
Here the wild dog’s spirit lies

We remember those good people still,
the ones of salvation hill
who live away from prying eyes
and need no disguise
at the last outpost

Here honor counts more than lies, you hear the wild dog spirit’s cries
Here the wild dog’s spirit lies
