Lyrics:

[Intro]

[Verse]
The shifting sands have pulled away their golden heavy weight
Leaving jagged limestone teeth to guard the temple gate
No living soul remembers how the chisel found its mark
Or how the cedar torches once defied the hungry dark
I trace the cold indentations where the lichen tries to feed
Reading every granite furrow like a desperate human need

[Chorus]
The ancient script is bleeding through the limestone and the dust
A silhouette of promises now surrendered to the rust
It speaks of tides that never turned and kings who lost their names
While time arrives with empty hands to extinguish all the flames
The meaning stumbles forward on a broken wooden crutch
Searching for a heart that hasn't forgotten how to touch

[Chorus]
The ancient script is bleeding through the limestone and the dust
A silhouette of promises now surrendered to the rust
It speaks of tides that never turned and kings who lost their names
While time arrives with empty hands to extinguish all the flames
The meaning stumbles forward on a broken wooden crutch
Searching for a heart that hasn't forgotten how to touch

[Verse]
A merchant sold his conscience here a thousand years ago
For a wagon full of silver and the status it would bestow
The ink has turned to shadow and the paper turned to air
But the greed is still vibrating in the stillness over there
The symbols look like spiders frozen mid-way through a climb
Scaling up the vertical and frozen face of time

[Pre-Chorus]
The wind shakes the dry tall grass against the canyon wall
Waiting for the monuments to finally shake and fall
The truth is hidden sideways in a language long since dead
While the ghosts of all the authors keep the secrets in their head

[Chorus]
The ancient script is bleeding through the limestone and the dust
A silhouette of promises now surrendered to the rust
It speaks of tides that never turned and kings who lost their names
While time arrives with empty hands to extinguish all the flames
The meaning stumbles forward on a broken wooden crutch
Searching for a heart that hasn't forgotten how to touch

[Chorus]
The ancient script is bleeding through the limestone and the dust
A silhouette of promises now surrendered to the rust
It speaks of tides that never turned and kings who lost their names
While time arrives with empty hands to extinguish all the flames
The meaning stumbles forward on a broken wooden crutch
Searching for a heart that hasn't forgotten how to touch

[Outro]
