Into the sands of time

I walked the desert sands

and the sun was burning hot

I left for foreign lands

saying \'forget me not\'

I felt the heat of the scorching dunes

and heard them cry at night

They moaned a thousand mournful tunes

beneath the eagle\'s flight

I saw the lonely jackal smile

and creep into the dark

I rode a hundred million miles

and bore the desert\'s mark

I kept secrets to myself

and learned to speak in signs

I cast off this mortal shell

and became one with Time

Sands flow

Sands stay

So will you go

and come back another day

I held the grains of time in my hand

and let them fall one by one

I walked out humble from that land

and subsided to the sun

I\'ve been water and I\'ve been rock

and now myself again

But still I hear the ticking clock

that turns \'now\' into \'then\'

Sands flow

and sands stay

So will you go

and come back another day

Forever this way

scattered around,

in the sky and in the ground,

nothing and everything,

a King of Kings
