The shifting sands conceal the truth Revealing only lies A crescent moon casts ghostly shapes As somewhere some thing flies
We let ourselves be bled Secrets of the dead
Deserted by the ghosts that knew Man's triumphs had no bounds Left starving by our own mistakes The sands reclaimed their ground
We let ourselves be bled Secrets of the dead Time takes us down so deep Is this the place we seek?
Secrets of the dead Secrets of the dead
We never learn form our mistakes Imperfect till the end You can't pick up the pieces And the hearts we break can't mend
As if they knew the gift they brought Was wasted on this earth They searched out for a better race On whom to bring rebirth
We let ourselves be bled Secrets of the dead We let ourselves be bled
Secrets of the dead Where angels fear to tread The secrets of the dead
