Ghosts Beneath the Sand Verse 1 I wear the face of weathered stone Where dying constellations roam The moon drifts through my hollow eyes Like silver prayers the desert hides My lips are sealed with ancient dust A monument to broken trust Yet underneath the sleeping dunes Lie gardens that forgot their bloom Pre-Chorus And every grain that covers me Is one more name the winds won't keep Chorus Ghosts beneath the sand Moving through my veins like rivers never found Echoes of a vanished land Still singing where the silence drowns The world bows to the crown I wear The riddles etched upon my skin But no one sees the ghosts beneath the sand Calling from within Verse 2 The desert writes and then erases Empires, lovers, saints, and faces Still their shadows stain the dawn Long after flesh and faith are gone I keep their fragments in my chest A crypt of sorrows laid to rest Their whispers circle endlessly Like vultures around memory Pre-Chorus Time is a desert with unfaithful hands Building its kingdoms, then burying them in sand Yet memory blooms where no river runs Like hidden stars beneath a fallen sun Chorus Ghosts beneath the sand Moving through my veins like rivers never found Echoes of a vanished land Still singing where the silence drowns The world bows to the crown I wear The riddles etched upon my skin But no one sees the ghosts beneath the sand Calling from within Bridge I am the wound the ages dressed in gold The keeper of the stories never told Half lion, half dream, half grave, half sky Watching every kingdom learn to die Time is a river made of dust and stars Pulling every monument apart Yet memory writes in waterless ink Upon the stones at the desert's brink I am the page the centuries could not erase A fading constellation wearing a lion's face While kingdoms sink beneath the tide of sand Their ghosts still gather in my hands Final Chorus Ghosts beneath the sand Breaking through the silence like a trembling hand Every secret, every scar Returning from the dark The stars remember what the dunes conceal The wounds the centuries never healed The world believed the stone was all I am A king of dust condemned to stand But beneath the mask of timeless calm Live the ghosts beneath the sand Outro Time is a desert with unfaithful hands Building its kingdoms, then burying them in sand Yet memory blooms where no river runs Like hidden stars beneath a fallen sun The dunes will wander, the heavens will fade The names of emperors will drift away But somewhere beneath this kingdom of dust The forgotten are still dreaming of us And when the last wind lifts the veil And scatters the silence across the plain You'll hear them rise in the twilight hymn The ghosts beneath the sand The ghosts beneath the sand Still calling my name Still calling my name From beneath the sand... From beneath the sand.
