Disappearing Sands

[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" --- Disappearing Sands - Elvenking
