lyrics

i am the grain that yields no bread
the sea that ships do not dare sail
the glass that casts no image forth
the bloodshot eye above your world

the shredded skin that gods of war
cast off as they took home in cracks
inside the bowels of the earth
beneath the covers of your bed

shhhhhhhh
sand

i am the juice of that red fruit
you nurtured with your useless toil
drink up, i say, and toast to those
who gave their lungs so I may fill

them to the brim with shrapnel shards
that dreams are made of; and incise
the boil that festers down below
in the convulsing cityscape

shhhhhhhh
sand

i am all angles and no sides;
a whispered threat without a voice,
caressing carcasses of stone
you raised in honor of your fear

of me, by me and in my name
for i am one whose name is Time
and also Sleep, and that shrill sound
pronounced like a piercing wind

shhhhhhhh
sand

i am the one that hears your prayers
and etches them on temple walls
who dampens sounds and stifles cries
and now I tell you: do not scream

for i will part and let you pass -
join in my mirth and as we laugh
our toothless smile will cut across
the land and drown out continents.
