I walk upon this lonely place

The sands of time blow in my face

Ancient, forgotten ghosts lay awake

In the day specters shimmer and bake

My fingers sift the desert sands

My body tastes the deserted sins

Love and passion, dried and blown

A mummies’ heart, long since gone

A river of dust where once poured tears

Heavens’ blessing, gone for years

Here Ishtar landed

To teach love’s game

When ancients knelt

To sing of Marduk’s fame

All is lost and all is gone

Will my ears ever hear heaven’s song?

Innocence has passed, and I’m alone

Spirit, resurrect my soul

Let me find my way home

The blood of my brothers

Stains my hands

The bodies of my sisters

Lay deep beneath the sands

Will all this pain

Come to an end?

Or will this circle

Turn once again

I surrender to God

And to the Holy Ghost

Where is salvation

When I need it the most?

With God’s toys I have played

See the endless desert

About me I have laid

Atomized souls and ashes black

Kiss the deathly grin on fleshless lips

Leering at the promise of destiny, aborted

One kiss, now there’s no turning back

So what is another footstep

On this timeless track?

What is an era or lifetime missed

When one tastes the lips of eternity

In this Babylon kiss
