Arid Trials and Barren Sands

Through the passage way A step into sand The dry hot air Embraces my face The Sweeping spirals Sit Restlessly Among the halcyon horizon Forever, endlessly The sand in my eyes The grit in my teeth A land of liquid nothing Envelops the scene Beneath the swollen blue sky No clouds embrace Only dry desert Sun Sits in their place It stares me down It slows my pace The blistering sands recede my skin The scorpions tail raises in warning The ever turning wall of sand Rolls continuously towards me And here they come The wavering visions A mirage come to life A true hallucination The whipping wind Sculpts this desert plain Sandstone arches Are All that remain Whispering winds speak to me The story unclear An ancient secret within the sands Unheard for centuries Am I the chosen one Am I the Savior To the end of the world The prophet of our damnation The one to save us all Its all in my mind In the sweltering heat Shade cast aside Only shadows of vultures lie Pyramids point towards the sky A cold breeze touches my skin The night sky slowly seeps in Gripping me with it's frozen hand Instilling frost on the land Echoes of past and future- like Oceans breathing life- straight into my fragile mind, I-- see beyond the veil, death greets me with psalms of a forgotten time Now let me go Drifting away. far away No more pain, or mortal coils My consciousness erodes Decaying time Death's eternal veil covers my eyes. Whispering winds speak to me The story unclear An ancient secret within the sands Unheard for centuries Am I the chosen one Am I the Savior To the end of the world The prophet of our damnation The one to save us all The one to save us all!
