Sahara Gate

Lyrics

The last village falls behind my back The sand begins where stone gives up A bendir strikes and metal sings The gate swings wide on desert dust Sahara gate sand swallows everything but sound Sahara gate sand swallows everything but sound Everything but sound Everything but sound Camel bells count a rhythm older Than any clock has ever kept The horizon bends but never breaks A line drawn flat from east to west The desert does not welcome you or turn you back It simply asks how much silence you can hold Sahara gate sand swallows everything but sound Sahara gate sand swallows everything but sound Everything but sound Everything but sound Each grain of sand was once a mountain Each dune a wave that never crashes I walk the ocean floor of time Through heat that bends the light to water The sun drops through the western sand The temperature falls like a stone The desert opens like a lung And breathes me into the unknown
