The Medea Project - The Desert Song Lyrics

Sumer dreams and spoiled wine
Salted earth with rizen shrines
Homeless hearth and hearthless home
Where the ka abides

Sallow fields of shallow graves
Endless threnodies of the slave
Enlils breath us take away
Down below

And in the dust
Whence we're returned
Cursed to crawl
As the worms of the earth

As we wend twixt our phyle
Twisting skeins of poisoned bile
To a heartbeat unknown
Erra

In the abode of the plagues
Where we fetour for the ages
And the memories of a man
Haunt us still

And still we dream
In the desert's night
On distant breeze
In a lost yesterday....
