[Verse] The desert stretches wide and bare A lonely smoke climbs through the air The silence hums The ground does glare A world of whispers Unaware
[Chorus] The long river flows The sun melts down A perfect circle A golden crown The earth stands still The sky turns red Where legends sleep Where dreams are fed
[Verse 2] The dunes are waves that never break Each grain of sand a tale they make A shadow falls It starts to ache The twilight bends The stars awake
[Bridge] A thousand miles of endless sky The wind It howls It questions why But no reply No tears to cry Just echoes lost Where spirits lie
[Chorus] The long river flows The sun melts down A perfect circle A golden crown The earth stands still The sky turns red Where legends sleep Where dreams are fed
