Shifting Sands

Intro

Instrumental

Verse 1

Silver strings snapping thin

Winter biting at my skin

Empty temple gates

Nothing here but wait

Mountain peaks capped in white

Shadows swallowing the light

Every prayer is hollow

I have no road to follow

Pre-Chorus

Black smoke rising in the west

Tired of the weight upon my chest

Let the current pull me down

Until I lose this heavy crown

Chorus

Rhythm tearing through the temple walls

Ancient stone begins to crack and falls

Iron in my blood and ice in the veins

Cutting all the rope and breaking the chains

I am waking in the thunder

Pull the world under

Drop

Waking

Under

Verse 2

City wires hiss and spark

Feeding off the hungry dark

Signal lost in translation

Pulse of a ghost nation

Watch the porcelain shatter

Nothing else seems to matter

Telling tales of the ghost

Who loved the lightning the most

Pre-Chorus

Black smoke rising in the west

Tired of the weight upon my chest

Let the current pull me down

Until I lose this heavy crown

Chorus

Rhythm tearing through the temple walls

Ancient stone begins to crack and falls

Iron in my blood and ice in the veins

Cutting all the rope and breaking the chains

I am waking in the thunder

Pull the world under

Drop

Waking

Under

Bridge

Blade on the bone

Blood on the stone

Sky turning gray

Wash it all away

Chorus

Rhythm tearing through the temple walls

Ancient stone begins to crack and falls

Iron in my blood and ice in the veins

Cutting all the rope and breaking the chains

I am waking in the thunder

Pull the world under
