Black pyramid of dead sand

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Black against the gold

Verse 1

Dunes swallow every step I take

Wind strips the names off stone

Pharaoh's shadow stretches long

I count the dark alone

Scarab skitters past my heel

Sun bleeds into the haze

Somewhere underneath this ground

An empire waits in maze

Pre-Chorus

Angles cut the sky in half

No moon to guide the fall

Chorus

Black pyramid in dead sand

Hold me close to hollow bone

Black pyramid in dead sand

Call my name and call me home

Post-Chorus

Dark dark dark

Let it pull me down

Verse 2

Hieroglyphs are bruises now

Faded in the grit

I trace the mouth of silent gods

And pray they let me sit

Cold the chamber cold the breath

Cold the waiting air

Walls that breathe the centuries

And no one to declare

Pre-Chorus

Angles cut the sky in half

No moon to guide the fall

Chorus

Black pyramid in dead sand

Hold me close to hollow bone

Black pyramid in dead sand

Call my name and call me home

Post-Chorus

Dark dark dark

Let it pull me down

Bridge

Mother of the midnight stone

Swallow what I've been

Give my voice to what's unknown

Let me start again

Chorus

Black pyramid in dead sand

Hold me close to hollow bone

Black pyramid in dead sand

Call my name and call me home

Outro

Mm

Mm-hmm
