Over sand
Scattered far and wide
Echoes of the ages
Whispering of time and tide
This is my reunion
With the ones who threw me down
Tore me up, cast me out
Of their pretty little town
See this dessert, see this land
See it fall into my hand
There was a line twice crossed in the golden sand
Between the fires of perdition and the promised land
And if my soul pays the bridge toll, well
You better let me on over, 'cause I'm ready to sell
I'm gonna take what's mine from thieving hands
And I will leave the rest to burn
And there will be no more resistance
Only fear and love at my return
Sand is giving way now
To a steady, drumming sound
It is the counting down to judgement
Of a metal heart beneath the ground
Look, you mighty, on my deeds
Ruined now, but these buried seeds
Are growing fast, the roots take hold
And crack your city walls of old
The gears of time turn 'round again
I am much more than I was back when
There was a line twice crossed in the golden sand
Between the fires of perdition and the promised land
And if my soul pays the bridge toll, well
You better let me on over, 'cause I'm ready to sell
I'm gonna take what's mine from thieving hands
And I will leave the rest to burn
And there will be no more resistance
Only fear and love at my return
And when the dawn burns red with the fire of war
And when the walls give way and the cannons roar
It will be too late then to run and hide
'Cause when you hear me come a-knocking, I'm already inside
Up from your wellspring and foundations
I will be everywhere you turn
And if you think that you'll defy me
Well, my friends, you'll learn
You're gonna help me start the fires
Or you will burn
And there will be no more resistance
Only fear and love at my return
Scattered far and wide
Echoes of the ages
Whispering of time and tide
This is my reunion
With the ones who threw me down
Tore me up, cast me out
Of their pretty little town
See this dessert, see this land
See it fall into my hand
There was a line twice crossed in the golden sand
Between the fires of perdition and the promised land
And if my soul pays the bridge toll, well
You better let me on over, 'cause I'm ready to sell
I'm gonna take what's mine from thieving hands
And I will leave the rest to burn
And there will be no more resistance
Only fear and love at my return
Sand is giving way now
To a steady, drumming sound
It is the counting down to judgement
Of a metal heart beneath the ground
Look, you mighty, on my deeds
Ruined now, but these buried seeds
Are growing fast, the roots take hold
And crack your city walls of old
The gears of time turn 'round again
I am much more than I was back when
There was a line twice crossed in the golden sand
Between the fires of perdition and the promised land
And if my soul pays the bridge toll, well
You better let me on over, 'cause I'm ready to sell
I'm gonna take what's mine from thieving hands
And I will leave the rest to burn
And there will be no more resistance
Only fear and love at my return
And when the dawn burns red with the fire of war
And when the walls give way and the cannons roar
It will be too late then to run and hide
'Cause when you hear me come a-knocking, I'm already inside
Up from your wellspring and foundations
I will be everywhere you turn
And if you think that you'll defy me
Well, my friends, you'll learn
You're gonna help me start the fires
Or you will burn
And there will be no more resistance
Only fear and love at my return
