Emperor of Sand

Tired and lost No one to trust Who is there to give the push All I have learned Straighten the curve Like a circle to return The long embrace The smell of dirt and roses Under the sun No sign of breath or water I fall asleep under blankets of stars Ice hit you cold Heat of surprise Bending mind can't realize Faith is in me End I can see Tears are strong as ten thousand tongues My sweet mirage I bathe in sacred waters I kiss the sky Floating in sultan's daughters Memories of loved ones are passing me by Memories of loved ones are passing me by Oceans of sand and rust Give way and yield my wake Oceans of sand and rust Give way and yield my wake They're waiting inside They're waiting to wash your eyes out Their hands are alive Alive with a fervent anger Your feet have been tied and your tongue in your hand Death of a thousand ravens You're down on your knees You're blind as the Ancient Kingdom Relive the ages of the moon Reeling the water close to you

I hope the sun shows the way Don't crush my spirit today Reveal your precious stones So i can help myself Don't waste your time Don't let it slip away from you Don't waste your time If it's the last thing that you do I dig through bone and skull Imagine black emerald I'm covered head to toe With diamonds in the rough Don't waste your time Don't let it slip away from you Don't waste your time If it's the last thing that you do These snakes have nothing to say I want their heads right away I sharpen every blade And i give them all to you Yeah i give them all to you

Running outside the Nazca Lines You know I see you all in white Hoping you'll grow the fruitful vines An array to give us life Violence born within my mind I know it always takes its time Climbing inside the cosmic eye And forgive the enemy I wonder who I am Reflections offer nothing I wonder where I stand I'm afraid of myself Watching you crumble to the ground Made me want to run away Helping you find the golden crown Made it easier to stay I wonder who I am Reflections offer nothing I wonder where I stand I'm afraid of myself At the bottom of the mountain Unaware of my surroundings Separation from my spirit Let the tree fall on the plain I wonder who I am Reflections offer nothing I wonder where I stand I'm afraid of myself

And the sky opened up and it swallowed us whole All that's left is time and healing underground Underneath us the cosmic dawn of war begins We resolve and watch as it all crumbles down Beauty fades Death decays Fires on high Reach the sky Branches break Roots remain Strong in mind Beauty Your adventure is dark and it hides beyond the cells All i feel alive, the hearts will prevail The stolen eye was found and given to the lost soul While the moon sets far and the milestones seem low Beauty fades Death decays Fires on high Reach the sky Branches break Roots remain Strong in mind Beauty And all that i have come to lose Gone so long it doesn't matter anyway And all that i have come to gain Will remain with me until the bitter end And when you sit and picture me Remember sitting in the sun and dancing in the rain The end is not the end you see It's just the recognition of a memory The eyes The face The lips The tongue The end(x2)

Diamond in the wishing well Fallen underneath its spell Save me from the wicked ways Pulling me with all its weight High above the silver line Flying over burning ground Ringing bells with golden chains Resonating with the sound Siren sounded I didn't hear it Travel deep within the mine Never want to cross the line Found the one I'd never sell One I thought I'd never find Searching thru the layers of filth Feeling where the light is from Always licking off the bone Carve a way to our home Siren sounded I didn't hear it Voices warned I'd not heed it I fell into a pit of lies I tried to dig around the other side And much to my surprise I was to blame for all the rain I fell into a pit of lies I tried to dig around the other side And much to my surprise I was to blame for all the rain I was to blame for all the rain

When the sultan gives orders to take your head You must ride the wind to safety or you'll wind up dead Through the evil and darkness you make your stand Only skeletons of war will guide you by the hand Silence growing loud Failure is not allowed The battle that rages before my eyes Is no different than the one that is inside my head Silence growing loud Failure is not allowed Ancient kingdom still remains Crumble slowly Ride beyond mortality Leaving beauty now Falling rain Sensing pain of mind Falling rain Sensing pain of mind Pain of mind Falling rain Sensing pain of mind Falling rain Sensing pain of mind Pain of mind Silence growing loud Failure is not allowed Ancient kingdom still remains Crumble slowly Ride beyond mortality Leaving beauty now Sparks explode into the air Live forever Ageless sounds they never die And i will remain

Silent all your life Running without vision Hollowed out inside Wronging all that's right There's no cause to be alarmed And no reason to escape from us There's no illness and no pain And no thought of any suffering The road is long and bare No clarity, no light The moment came and swallowed us Blinding all our sight We will keep you free from harm All you have to do is stand with us I will mend your broken heart And resort the trials you have lost Give your life So i can breathe Save your life It's all we need We can be to haunt the ground And devour your humanity Follow me and follow sound To the end of your eternity Give your life So i can breathe Save your life It's all we need

The elusive mystery Determined by the stars The stigma is valid, truth and fear The fear is real It will set us free It took my pa I stand in deliverance Waiting for destruction, in a wake of blood The awakening moment arrives Returning you at will The midnight hour prepares for truth The truth is real It's so far beyond my reach The crimson mask is rising black The last setting sun Will be seen in my dusted mind Constantly burying our loves In the trench of this mysterious despair It leaves us empty clawing in The elusive mystery Determined by the stars The stigma is valid, truth and fear The fear is real Free us from this feeder Lead me in deeper To fulfill this seed i grew Into at my birth
