[Intro – Whispered Chant] Sand remembers every name Wind devours all but flame Step in silence, step in claim The desert bows, for I remain [Verse] My kingdom sleeps beneath the dunes Gold-veined halls in sunless rooms My pulse is stone, my breath is dust My throne is built from ancient trust Not of subjects, not of kings But memory that never bends [Pre-Chorus] Come closer, feel the desert speak Its voice is patient, calm, and bleak [Chorus] Blood of the dunes, I call you home Across the wastes you walk alone Your heart beats slow, your bones remember Warmth is brief but sand is tender Kneel and taste the ancient rain Red as longing, red as pain [Verse] The living fear what does not age They cage themselves in fleeting days But I have seen the cities drown I wear extinction as my crown Not to boast, nor to command But as truth carved in the sand [Refrain – Oud + Low Voice] Eternity is quiet, child It does not scream It waits [Chorus] Blood of the dunes, I call you home Across the wastes you walk alone Your heart beats slow, your bones remember Warmth is brief but sand is tender Kneel and taste the ancient rain Red as longing, red as pain [Bridge – Spoken Over Rising Drums] Do not fear the endless night Darkness is a gentle sight Daylight burns and daylight blinds Night reveals the hidden mind Drink with me — not to forget But to become what time cannot regret [Chant – Choir, low and rolling] Ankh of blood Seal of bone Desert cradle Carved in stone [Final Chorus] Blood of the dunes, now you are mine Not as prisoner, but as design A story etched in endless sand Two shadows walking hand in hand No death awaits, no world undone Only night beneath the moonless sun [Outro – Soft] Lay your sorrow in the dust The desert keeps what it is given
