Sands of the Slave

Verse 1

Sands

Burning my boots

Golden masks hide the truth

Underneath the heavy stone

Rulers wait on a hollow throne

Eyes

Cold and wide

Nothing left for them to hide

The sun is a weight

Heavy

Crushing every single gate

Chorus

Give me the power

Give me the life

Give me the power

Stuck in the cycle of the knife

Tell me why I had to die

Tell me why I had to die

Tell me why I had to die

Ancient kings never say goodbye

Verse 2

Dust

Choking the air

Watch the vultures start to stare

Iron shackles on my wrists

Fate is turning in the mists

Gone

Fading out

Hear the temple start to shout

Broken

Bleeding slow

Nowhere left for us to go

Shadows

Long and lean

Killing everything they seen

Chorus

Give me the power

Give me the life

Give me the power

Stuck in the cycle of the knife

Tell me why I had to die

Tell me why I had to die

Tell me why I had to die

Ancient kings never say goodbye

Bridge

Wrapped in linen

Wrapped in gold

Wrapped in lies that they told

I see the river

I see the dark

I see the flame without a spark

No escape

No return

Let the desert start to burn

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Give me the power

Give me the life

Give me the power

Stuck in the cycle of the knife

Tell me why I had to die

Tell me why I had to die

Tell me why I had to die

Ancient kings never say goodbye

Outro

The sun goes down

The sun goes down

The sun goes down

Empty tomb

Silent room

Endless doom
