across a sea of sand a treasure waits buried neath the past a living gate a voice ever calling me through golden dreams destiny damned is he who takes from the hand of my sleeping shadow in the city of the dead they come for everything follow the voice that sings i crush they re unbelief black wings await the thief i struggle on i ve journeyed for so long for glory they say i will be damned entombed beneath the sand a story my city of the dead i ll break your unbelief i reach the gate no time to contemplate tomorrows a strange power holding sway dark eyes within the maze the shadow awake i rise in wrath and call your name in a place closed now open damned is he who takes from the hand of my sleeping shadow though he may have all that lay within forever you ve come for everything i judge your unbelief a story to be told a dream of shining gold so hollow the fallen find their way brave kings become the slaves of the shadow pay the price
