Disappearing Sands Lyrics - Singles - Elvenking

[Music: Jarpen, Aydan / Lyrics: Jarpen] 

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"
