The Alkadus, the solar shroud, Two silhouettes in silence bow, the sentinels of thorn and green are watching all the trial thing. We left the world of steel and gray to walk the path of dying day. No iron lost can find us here beyond the veil of human fear. The cathedral of sandstone redversum midnight. The coming of the deaths at night.
Oh, siren of the burning sand. I hold the cosmos in your hand. Yours is the day I keep inside. The sleeping rocks were time as bled The cadence of the morning of the architecture of our love. We leave the hollow great persona Beneath the skies of Arizona a biological design to merge your spirit into mine.
We steal the moments from the night. No heaven waits for us above the surface all we have to look the stardust return into bone to wanderers of finally home. I am the shadow, you the light, the coming of the desert night. I am the ew of the shape. A sanctuary we have made a siren of the sand.
In the dark, my heart is found upon the shallow holy ground.
