Echoes of the Sands

[Verse] Underneath the dust of stone and clay A city whispers where the shadows lay Walls once tall now crumble away Who were they who called this home [Prechorus] The stars remember The earth forgets [Chorus] Echoes of the sands Slip through my hands Worlds collided Now they're silent Echoes of the sands Slip through my hands [Verse 2] They carved their names in the bones of the hills Drank from rivers that time now stills Statues stare with eyes of will But who were they to dream so high [Bridge] A fire burned where the ocean slept Mountains rose where the heavens wept Who could know what secrets were kept Lost in the folds of time [Chorus] Echoes of the sands Slip through my hands Worlds collided Now they're silent Echoes of the sands Slip through my hands
