Disappearing Sands - Elvenking

At dawn the ships arrived, they sailed

Through seas and foreign skies

To bring another age in lands

That needed no constraints

By the sign of the fire

All pagan gods were bleeding

To dispossess thousands years

Of wisdom and beliefs, oh

Think for a moment, fall astray

First step on sand, meant the last

Of their old life

(«now it’s done, all is gone»), so pure

With dignity all was carried on

«What's this fighting for?»

Disappearing sands, familiar voices

Everytime I stare at the night inside us

All the places I cherish darken

Past memories are the only

True consolation

For what my eyes are forced to see

The tears in her eyes were like rain

Come from the gloomiest cloud

Pushed back from their own homes

The germ of hate seized the heart

In a clear warm spring day

His spirit left the body

Alone she stood while the ravens

Flew away from ruins, oh

«Far till sky unites with earth I’ll hide you

They cannot dig what’s inside of us

Far till sky unites with earth I’ll hide you

They cannot dig what’s inside of us»

«My life for you, despair on us

Despair on us»

(Solos: Jarpen / Aydan)

Think for a moment, fall astray

First step on sand, meant the last

Of their old life

(«now it’s done, all is gone»), so pure

With dignity all was carried on

«What's this fighting for?»

Disappearing sands, familiar voices

Everytime I stare at the night inside us

All the places I cherish darken

Past memories are the only

True consolation

For what my eyes are forced to see
