Sands of Time.

​(Verse 1)

Golden hourglass on the ledge of the tomb

El-wa't bey-seer, zay el-ghobar fi el-ghoom

Shifting dunes where the pharaohs decay

El-shams bet-ghib, we-ana el-hakam el-gaye

I trace the lines in the dust on the floor

Kol el-madi, by-moot 'ala el-soor

The silence is heavy, the air turns to glass

Watching the empires of yesterday pass

​(Chorus)

Sands of Time, shifting under my feet

Fe-remal el-zaman, el-donya bet-tew-t

Midnight Maus, with a gaze cold and deep

Ya malika el-rooh, el-sar el-dafeen

I hold the rhythm, I hold the light

Ana el-bada, ana el-nihaya, fi hedd el-layl

Sands of Time, they fall for me

​(Verse 2)

Crumbling stone, but the spirit is gold

El-tarikh be-ye-k-tab, el-qessa el-qadima

I rewrite the ending with a flick of my tail

El-nahr by-te-ghe-yer, we-ana el-fajr el-hayy

The concrete cityscape turns into sand

El-hawa fe-sada, el-mowt fi el-yadd

I’m the erosion, the wind, and the stone

Sitting in silence on a hollowed-out throne

​(Pre-Chorus)

Can you hear the grinding, the gears in the dark?

El-dahr bey-ed-or, we-ana el-shar-ar

The hourglass shatters, the timeline is torn

Fi hedd el-zaman, el-malika et-welled

​(Chorus)

Sands of Time, shifting under my feet

Fe-remal el-zaman, el-donya bet-tew-t

Midnight Maus, with a gaze cold and deep

Ya malika el-rooh, el-sar el-dafeen

I hold the rhythm, I hold the light

Ana el-bada, ana el-nihaya, fi hedd el-layl

Sands of Time, they fall for me

​(Bridge)

No gravity holds, the stars are aligned

El-kawn fi eedi, mosh me-ta-ye-ed

Midnight Maus, tearing through the veil

Ana el-qowwa, ana el-ghadab, el-sar el-a'zeem

The desert is rising to swallow the sky

El-koll bey-ra-ke', el-koll bey-moot

But I am the stillness, the anchor, the pride

Ya amirat el-Nil, el-rooh la-te-moot

​(Guitar Solo - Desert Rock, Bluesy and Distorted)

​(Verse 3)

The grain of the sand is the memory I keep

El-zaman bey-khod-na, el-am-waag bet--ali

I walk on the surface where legends sleep

Ana el-nujoom, el-a'ly we-ghaly

Nothing is permanent, nothing is real

El-hawa by-te-ghayer, zay el-mi-zeel

But my name is carved in the stone of the light

Midnight Maus, the queen of the night

​(Outro)

Sands of time...

El-raml by-doob...

Midnight Maus...

Ana el-Nil...

Falling forever, the cycle is complete

El-bada, el-nihaya...

The sands...

Midnight Maus.
