"Opera of the Wasteland" 是由Mastodon創作的一首歌曲，其歌詞如下：
Verse 1:
Wandering through the endless desert
In search of something beyond my reach
A dream that's buried deep within me
A vision of a world that's lost and bleak
Chorus:
Opera of the wasteland
A melody of pain and sorrow
A symphony of rust and decay
A testament to life's eternal cycle
Verse 2:
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
A reminder of what we once were
A haunting melody that lingers
In the air, a reminder of what we've lost
Chorus:
Opera of the wasteland
A melody of pain and sorrow
A symphony of rust and decay
A testament to life's eternal cycle
Bridge:
Beyond the clouds, the sun begins to rise
The world awakens, but not for long
As the final act unfolds before us
We all play a part in this great story
Chorus:
Opera of the wasteland
A melody that never ends
A testament to life's eternal quest
To find our way, in this endless desert
