Lyrics

We're all just pillars Unanchored standing in loose sand Grounding castles for our mothers In the brittle dessert land Made by the sun that melts the sand We're idle pillars transparent Until the winds of filth and dirt Stain the glass with violent bursts Not long ago we stood with pride Like a lighthouse in the night Guiding souls through desert lands Like a mother holding hands Every day the sun would set And the sky would fill with stars Bringing the cold from distant seas On a gentle summer breeze Then one day the wind had changed From a whisper to a roar It brought back a million tears We'd forgotten all those years Now we are broken we are torn While the winds become the storm Tares the ground from which we rose Until we crumble, decompose No more guiding the lost souls Wandering idle through the world We fade back to what we've known Once we're kings but now unthroned We're nothing more than grains of sand Fallen back on desert land All we were in disarray Until the wind takes us away Carries us on subtle sighs Whispering secrets in the night All the voices sound entwined Singing hymns for the divine
