Verse 1] What lies below We will never know Buried beneath the sand Names written by forgotten hands I can feel the pain all around Rising softly from the ground Every stone and weathered tree Holds a truth we’ll never see [Pre-Chorus] The sun falls low The shadows grow Something wakes When the warm wind blows [Chorus] Desert secrets Calling through the night Hidden underneath us Far away from sight Desert secrets Whispering my name The desert keeps on living But it never stays the same [Verse 2] I hear their whispers through the branches Broken words and second chances Ancient voices, thin and low Telling me which way to go The songs they sing Are magic to my ears Carried by the wind Across a hundred years [Pre-Chorus] The daylight dies The darkness breathes I hear their voices Moving through the trees [Chorus] Desert secrets Calling through the night Hidden underneath us Far away from sight Desert secrets Whispering my name The desert keeps on living But it never stays the same [Bridge] A quiet night becomes a stage For every soul from every age No lights No seats No living crowd Just buried voices Singing loud A concert from the dead Playing inside my head Every note they leave behind Brings another ghost to life [Final Chorus] Desert secrets Calling through the night Hidden underneath us Far away from sight Desert secrets Whispering my name The desert holds their memories And sings them back again [Outro] What lies below We will never know But when the branches move I hear them I hear them
