Golden Grounds Lyrics - The Gathering

As the sand 

spreads wide open 

and the glow of the sun 

pearls the skin 

All hope is craving fluids 

and the yearning to where we've been 

Golden grounds 

so absorbing 

When the heat of the sun 

boils the skin 

We have to stand the test of nature 

to return to where we've been 

Hold on my saviour 

Keep my heart in holy dimensions 

Drag me on your back 

for one more day 

One more day 

One more day 

You give 

You learn 

You live 

You learn 

I guess what ever you may find 

It's all right to eat a piece of your mind 

[Anneke van Giersbergen]
