lyrics

Shores of sand they fill my feet
that beat upon the ground.
I walk on palaces of dunes
that ring with floating sounds.
A sandaled stride through desert psalms
and mirages of oases.
I run through fire and rising glass
in secret thoughts and fantasies.

I feel it
writhing in the sun.

Following the stars that blink
and billow in the night.
I am smoke and windblown ash
and whirling winds that blot the light.
I burn like bullets that melt into wax
beneath the minarets.
I offer myself to the sand
and all its myriad epiphets.

I feel it
writhing in the sun.

Here it comes
crawling in the sun.

Floating sounds of strings and prayers
they trace their slipstreams back to me.
Lost in a storm of fury
adrift on a sandy sea.
Desert swans in thirsty skies
singing songs on absent breeze.
Ancient lands of endless sand
they fill my burning feet.

I am the sun that beats
I am the heart of the heat.
