Thousand Years of Sand lyrics

Like a fruit In the rotten garden Like a soul In the river styx Like a stone In the unending desserts Like a word In the city of babylon Not understood Yet true and spoken The Sun is reached With wax and feathers Where worlds collide Between euphrates and tigris The setting Sun In the occident Where monuments Serve as tombstones Just to serve the dead And what did it lead to Thousand years of sand A civilization Collapsed in itself And what did it lead to Thousand years of sand Thousand years of wisdom Yet just remorse Where dynasties Erect themselves The fertile crescent Shines for the realm Mesopotamia Land of the gods And nothing left But sand and stone The library of assure The temple of ara-li Legacies burnt to the ground Forgotten and vanished in sand And what did it lead to Thousand years of sand A civilization Collapsed in itself And what did it lead to Thousand years of sand Thousand years of wisdom Yet just remorse Nothing less and nothing more Nothing less and nothing more Nothing less and nothing more Nothing less and nothing more
