[Verse 1] The palms grew thick where the map went thin Water whispered, don’t step in A pool of glass in a ring of stone Too green to stand, too old to own Behind the reeds where the sun goes blind A cave breathed cold like a buried mind [Pre-Chorus] Torchlight shook on a painted wall Names half-eaten by time’s long crawl [Chorus] Beneath the breath of sand and years Past the bones of kings and fears I found the door the desert keeps Where history curls up fast asleep If you hear the stone begin to sigh You’ve come too far to turn aside The tomb remembers every hand That dares to wake what’s buried in sand [Verse 2] The tunnel coils like a serpent’s spine Carved by prayer and punishment time Steps worn smooth by the faithful few Who never came back the way they knew Hieroglyphs hum in the fire’s glow Telling truths they don’t want you to know [Pre-Chorus] Every echo sounds like breath Every shadow counts your steps [Chorus] Beneath the breath of sand and years Past the bones of kings and fears I found the door the desert keeps Where history curls up fast asleep Gold don’t shine without a cost Every crown was something lost The tomb remembers every hand That dares to wake what’s buried in sand [Verse 3] The ceiling weeps with mineral tears Drip by drip—ten thousand years A jackal’s eye carved deep in stone Watching all who walk alone The final gate in obsidian black Once you cross, there’s no turning back [Bridge] I felt the weight of every name That died to keep this place the same Not dead—just waiting in the dark For foolish hands and one last spark [Chorus – Lower / Heavier] Beneath the breath of sand and time Past the edge of sacred lines I touched the seal the ancients swore Would never feel the sun once more If the gods still breathe below They know my face—they know my soul The tomb remembers every hand That dares to wake what’s buried in sand [Outro] When the stone rolled back, the desert sighed Some doors were sealed to keep us alive Now the sand will never stand Between the truth and a mortal hand
