Thy Book of Sand

from Desert of Bones by Desert of Bones

/

about

Some of the visions, presented to the prophet, show what he called the Truth – the meaningful guidance to a virtuos life, hence, to their promissed land – most of those visions were put down into words. They were called: The Book of Sand!

lyrics

Teach me all the things I never know
All the spells and charms and roaming souls
Altogether haunt me out to say
Holy words were flowing through my hands

I am longing to say
I am bound here to praise
When I’m leaving this ground
My teachings will be spread so far away

…words of liberty…

When you see them you better learn
All the spells and charms are not enough
Our living is not beyond ‘today’
I have left to bring the words to save

He is unborn in the Name
We better be understood
And as you bow and pray
You better look to the real way

* * *
A silent way to go — and the lines you hear will state your goals
And by the living words reborn — and live again!

We are standing all alone [but] I will not cease to carry on
A man is free to trail his way — [but] don’t you ever astray away

Won’t you stay to hear my lines?
Won’t you stay and live your rights?
I am here to lead a way — to get away

And the madness we were through
Made us mourn and free to do
Our a living — a better way to get along

* * *
Today you realized to be
All the errors that you just can’t see
The lonely path to find your way
It’s just a mending and I am here to say

As you’re looking back
And freed your spiritedness
Save your lies for Asmoday

When you’re torn, I am here
When you mourn I will stay to grieve
When you lie all alone
And you’ll feel it, but you’ll never know

(I’ve) just saw you dying here
You know, you just can’t see
Just know, I can feel…

* * *
Just a lonely night in here
The voices cry but never go
I am lost inside of me

I evoke them standing lonely in the night
They say they never want us all to be inside
Writing down the endless ceremony seals
To be aside and let me all the rest I need

A life of endless pilgrimage is on our way
A trick of madness leading us to be insane, yeah

* * *
We have only a way
When the night is over, again
Lonely I rise my face from the earth

I can’t believe we are to die in the sun
We all stole the time away
Steal the light from the day
Far beyond the wheels of mind

We can trust, in time you’ll see
Knowing never what’s gonna be
When denying, stay away
I am trusted to common end

It can’t be fastened, nor be undone
The guiding light will carry us on
We all sold our lives away
For paradise in further days

* * *
Teach me all those things I ever know
All the spells and charms and roaming souls
Altogether haunt me out to say
Holy words were written by my hands

I am longing to say
We are bound here to praise
When we leaving this ground
My preaching will be spread so far away
