Sands Of Time

[Intro] Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh Hear the desert call my name Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh Gold will rise through dust again Wind on the stone Dust on the throne Hear the old empire call me home Sun in my veins Fire remains Still my name survives the sands of age [Verse 1] Buried beneath these oceans of amber Lie the bones of a kingdom divine Cities once kissed by the fire of heaven Now sleep in the arms of time Columns of memory broken and scattered Crowns turned to ghosts in the dune But deep in the hush where the sun still watches Fate has been waiting to bloom [Pre-Chorus] The desert remembers What the world let die Every grain a whisper Every storm a sign [Chorus] From the sand of time I rise Crowned beneath eternal skies What was lost was never gone Empires sleep, but they live on Hear the sunlit heavens sing Dust still bows before its king Through the ruin, through the flame Time itself recalls my name [Verse 2] I was the promise carved into sunrise The hand that lifted kingdoms high I was the dream of a people ascending A golden vow against the night But power was poison dressed up as glory Trust was a blade in the dark Now from the ashes and shattered devotion I gather the light from the scars [Pre-Chorus] The desert remembers Every fallen wall Every broken banner Every god that watched us fall [Chorus] From the sand of time I rise Crowned beneath eternal skies What was lost was never gone Empires sleep, but they live on Hear the sunlit heavens sing Dust still bows before its king Through the ruin, through the flame Time itself recalls my name [Bridge] Ohhh-oh The dunes will part Ohhh-oh To wake the heart Ohhh-oh Of a thousand years Still burning bright beneath the tears I am the echo I am the dawn I am the throne the ages built upon I am the sunfire The last divine The hand returning through the sands of time [Breakdown] Let the wind carry my sorrow Let the gold cover my pain What was taken by betrayal Will be lifted once again From the dust From the deep From the silence kingdoms keep I return I reclaim All the stars that knew my name [Final Chorus] From the sand of time I rise Crowned beneath eternal skies What was lost was never gone Empires sleep, but they live on Hear the sunlit heavens sing Dust still bows before its king Through the ruin, through the flame Time itself recalls my name
