[Intro] [clean electric guitar arpeggio, light synth pad] [Verse 1] [tenor male vocals, heavy reverb] Oh, I walked toward the sun in sand Each step burned thirst from my hand My shadow the only sand I survive without desire It grows, it grows when sunset flows [Verse 2] [bass guitar enters, light percussion] No trace the caravan left Bell rings in my head Doom's where water used to be, only wind remembers me It calls, it calls through crumbling walls [Chorus] [full band enters, orchestral strings, driving drums] Oh, gardens where I passed But I was blind to fast Oh, gardens where I thought I saw nothing there at all Harvest dry and thin, wind said let it spin, seek no more, no shore ahead [Bridge] [drums drop out, clean guitar arpeggio] Dew from withered leaves I drank Heard the song that time sang Tongues like rustle of the sand, names like dust in my hand They fade, they fade in shifting shade [Guitar Solo] [melodic electric guitar lead, sustained string pads] [Chorus] [full band, high-energy drums, layered vocal harmonies] Oh, long and white stars in the sky Sky bends but never breaks Each step the old one takes I stray, I stray where lost once prayed [Outro] [crescendo, heavy cymbal crashes] Desert silence spoke to me You carry water in a sea I replied let me be the sea that stays in the deep Not one who sleeps, but one who sings to keep the deep, the deep, the deep
