timeless sands new

[Verse 1] Caravans on desert paths wander on since ages past. Footprints over scorching sands Vanish from their surface fast. [Chorus 1] Oh, timeless sands, oh sea-less shore! Oh, spell unspoken evermore! A lyre's lament, a sistrum's sigh, A silent wish declared well-nigh. [Verse 2] Dunes like shadows in the night, Darker shapes against the sky, Faintly dance in trembling light, To old tunes that never die. [Chorus 2] Oh, timeless sands, oh sea-less shore! Oh, spell unspoken evermore! A lyre's lament, a sistrum's sigh, A yearning for the starlit sky. [Verse 3] Cedars whisper by the stream, Serpents scrape through thorny brush, Over mountains eagles scream, Rivers murmur in their rush. [Bridge] Oh, Bataq Mountains, old and wise, Guardians of our ancient lands! Beneath your peaks our cities rise, Built strong by our forefathers' hands. [Chorus 3] Oh, timeless sands, oh, sea-less shore! Oh, spell unspoken evermore! A lyre's lament, a sistrum's sigh, A longing for a fortune high.
