Desert Shadows Lyrics

Desert Shadows lyrics

Within two worlds



Wind carries the sand



Of a desert of emotions



Unto tear stained cheeks



Skin seared by the power 



Of oblivious stars



He cries... shedding tears... though none are left



They cry... golden tears... diamonds glistening



Solace found underneath a palm 



Brushing the burning void away



The jewels of their emotions



Are left abandoned in the sand



As they face one another



In a dimensional confrontation



Twin images etched in glass



And the backdrop of the cosmos



The stars disregard



His pain laid flat 



Against the pane



He cries... shedding tears... though none are left



They cry... golden tears... vagabonds in the sand



The scream echoes silent



Within a world forever deaf



He sees within the other



Reality's reflection surreal



And as the bright stars arch



The power of the palm grows



Extinguishing his silent partner



And his phantom world



In contrary motion



He raises his frame



As the other falls...



Shattering upon the barren earth's kiss



Like a thousand sapphires



Reflecting the light of the stars



Flung against the night's canopy



And his end becomes clear 



In rippling pools of a desert oasis...



Transcend the line drawn in the sand



By the remnants of his twin



Orphan the sanctity of the palm



And eschew the safety of its shadow
