[Verse 1] Sand on my lashes Dust on this royal blue Gold on my shoulders Weight of a promise too Turquoise horizon Quivers with distant steel I draw a circle Feel the canyon breathe [Chorus] I am the Mage of Stony Sands Rock and river in my hands Staff to the sky I hear them call Ancient eyes in the desert wall Atem said "Stand when others fall" So I will stand I will stand For Aridinia [Verse 2] Carved into granite Whispers of kings before Millennium secrets Sleeping beneath this floor I press my palm down Stone answers like an oath Every grain waiting Ready to rise as one [Chorus] I am the Mage of Stony Sands Rock and river in my hands Staff to the sky I hear them call Ancient eyes in the desert wall Atem said "Stand when others fall" So I will stand I will stand For Aridinia [Bridge] Teach me Dry wind How to bend Never break Teach me Old dunes How to shift How to wait He taught "Your heart Is the heaviest shield" The desert agrees And the bedrock yields [Chorus] I am the Mage of Stony Sands Rock and river in my hands Staff to the sky I hear them call Ancient eyes in the desert wall Atem said "Stand when others fall" So I will stand I will stand For Aridinia
