Lyrics
In the perilous gardens of light we walk helplessly on
Will the shadows protect us from harm, give us shelter from dawn?
In the temples of nocturnal light we pray hopefully on
For some wiseman to show us the way, take us far from the sun
Will the morning come, when the pain is gone, when the light doesn't burn?
Is this just a dream floating on a breeze , gone?
As the duct of the desert rolls on blowing over the dunes
Are we banished forever from life beneath sandcastle ruins?
Are we lost or found living underground where the light dosen't burn?
Do we have a chance for our souls to dance on?
Will we find a way to another day when the light dosen't burn?
Will our God return? Will we learn to go on?
