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 Euphrat 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 civilisation

Collapsed it 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 nothings 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 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
