*One by one The petals fall From the heart of man Taking with them The sun and shine Leaving a desolate land Their sweet fragrance Fermenting in arid desert Where noc is ruler Green grass obsolete Dry as cotton This heart of sand Rain doesn't quench This thirst This ache It cleans nothing Leaves only a muddy hand A soul that cries With eyes now dry A hand to which No one holds A permanent desert Where roses die And grass not grow This barren Heart of sand*

Heart of Sand
*One by one The petals fall From the heart of man Taking with them The sun and shine Leaving a desolate land Their sweet fragrance Fermenting in arid desert Where noc is ruler Green grass obsolete Dry as cotton This heart of sand Rain doesn't quench This thirst This ache It cleans nothing Leaves only a muddy hand A soul that cries With eyes now dry A hand to which No one holds A permanent desert Where roses die And grass not grow This barren Heart of sand*
To let go of one you love is a death without a death. Stay strong my friend.
