look oh how high i stand on this dune
the sand shifting shapes
and i hope, i hope i will shift some too
yes i hope i'll shift some soon

and look how the water dances on top the sand
out tens of hundreds of miles
and it's the dream in this heat to reach it 'fore dark
but i fear that by then she'll be dried

but there is no falling off this mound
no matter its height you can only roll down
down down down

oh look how my legs seem to move on their own
without much prompting from me
and i know, i know they'll cut out on me too
yes i know they'll drop me real soon

look at the band of travelers you're with
would you risk your life to save theirs
it's the law of the land to get what you can
and preserve all that can't be procured

look oh how blue seems to bleed into red
as the sun sinks to his grave
and i fear, i fear i will sink to mine too
yes i fear i'll sink to it soon
