Disappearing Sands

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
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
Think for a moment  fall astray
First step on sand  meant the last
Of their old life
Now it's done
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
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
