Desert Sands

Searching eyes in the hollow of a frozen heart
Tearing dry sand apart for a single spark
Digging deep in the ruins of a broken soul
Losing breath as the shadows take their final toll

Mirage of mercy in a sea of stone
You seek the light but you are all alone

Vultures circle the promise of a hollow grace
Truth is hidden beneath a cold and cruel face
Kindness buried in dunes of eternal greed
Planting hope where there is no soil for the seed

The darkness swallows every drop of your gold
The heart is empty and the fire is cold

Desert sands
Digging for a diamond in a wasteland made of glass
Watching every shadow of your golden future pass
Desert sands
The Sun will burn the memory of the person you have been
Till there's nothing left but emptiness and cruelty within

Buried in the dust of despair

Desert sands
Digging for a diamond in a wasteland made of glass
Watching every shadow of your golden future pass
Desert sands
The Sun will burn the memory of the person you have been
Till there's nothing left but emptiness and cruelty within

Buried in the dust of despair
