Raised to conquer the sands
Seize the deserts and make them his own
Pleas, their crestfallen wails
Could not alter the coming age

One by one will rise to the call
Ignite the crowd for succession
The breaking point, there's no turning back
To the crucified

And the sun will rise
Over the dunes of a distant tomorrow

Sands of time
Save me, break me from what I am
Don't let dreams dissolve to dust

Forged in stone
Ashes, shattered by destiny
The signs of a burning sky will rise

The battle cry
From far away
Inside the dark he would find the prey
Within the mace, a demon's gaze
A life in the shade

In starlight, the path through salvation
Rising up from the dark
The kingdom before him in dormancy
To seek, to claim the throne

Sands of time
Save me, break me from what I am
Don't let dreams dissolve to dust

Forged in stone
Ashes, shattered by destiny
The signs of a burning sky will rise

Years, went rapidly by
As he governed with dismay and greed
At last his rule was to end
By impalement he faded out

And the sun will rise
Over the dunes of a distant tomorrow

Sands of time
Save me, break me from what I am
Don't let dreams dissolve to dust

Forged in stone
Ashes, shattered by destiny
The signs of a burning sky will rise

Forged in stone
Ashes, shattered by destiny
The signs of a burning sky will rise
Engulfing his soul evermore
