Lyrics

Wind over bone
Sun over stone
Nothing is gone
Nothing alone

Lines in the dune
Fade with the day
But under the surface
They know the way

Feet without faces
Names without sound
Every old crossing
Sleeps in the ground

Step after step
The silence turns
What the body forgets
The sand remembers

The sand remembers
The path we made
The hidden hunger
The price we paid

The sand remembers
The shape we wore
Every circle
Returns once more

Gold in the distance
Heat in the eye
A promise is moving
Where old shadows lie

Tongue of the serpent
Under the plain
Writing in silence
And wiping its name

Step after step
The silence turns
What the body forgets
The sand remembers

The sand remembers
The path we made
The hidden hunger
The price we paid

The sand remembers
The shape we wore
Every circle
Returns once more

Do not trust
The empty land
Every secret
Has a hand

Do not trust
The open sky
Every trail
Has learned to lie

The sand remembers
The path we made
The hidden hunger
The price we paid

The sand remembers
The shape we wore
Every circle
Returns once more

Wind over bone
Sun over stone
The trail disappears
But the sand has known
