Desert Shadows Lyrics

Within two worlds
Wind carries the sand
Of a desert of emotions
Unto tear stained cheeks
Skin seared by the power
Of oblivious stars

He cries... shedding tears...
Though none are left
They cry... golden tears...
Diamonds glistening

Solace found underneath a palm
Brushing the burning void away
The jewels of their emotions
Are left abandoned in the sand
As they face one another
In a dimensional confrontation
Twin images etched in glass
And the backdrop of the cosmos

The stars disregard
His pain laid flat
Against the pane

He cries... shedding tears...
Though none are left
They cry... golden tears...
Vagabonds in the sand

The scream echoes silent
Within a world forever deaf
He sees within the other
Reality's reflection surreal

And as the bright stars arch
The power of the palm grows
Extinguishing his silent partner
And his phantom world

In contrary motion
He raises his frame
As the other falls...

Shattering upon the barren earth's kiss
Like a thousand sapphires
Reflecting the light of the stars
Flung against the night's canopy

And his end becomes clear
In rippling pools of a desert oasis
Transcend the line drawn in the sand
By the remnants of his twin
Orphan the sanctity of the palm
And eschew the safety of its shadow
