Verse 1
Golden light upon the Nile,
I chased forever mile by mile.
Dressed in linen, crowned with gold,
Still my heart felt centuries old.
Every temple reached the sky,
Asking gods to answer why.
Why a face I couldn't name
Burned inside me like a flame.
Pre-Chorus
The priests all said, "The stars don't lie,
The soul returns when bodies die."
So every night I'd search above,
Praying they'd return, my only love.
Chorus
Empire of dust beneath the sun,
I'm still searching for the only one.
Life after life, I'll find your light,
Even if it takes a thousand nights.
Every kingdom falls away,
Every stone begins to fade.
But my heart remembers you...
Even when my mind can't.
Verse 2
I traced your face in painted walls,
Hidden deep in sacred halls.
Though we'd never truly met,
My soul refused to let forget.
When the river kissed the shore,
I felt your footsteps once before.
A stranger passed, our eyes aligned,
Then disappeared into the sands of time.
Pre-Chorus
The desert carried whispered names,
Calling softly through the flames.
I reached for you with empty hands,
Watching footprints fill with sand.
Chorus
Empire of dust beneath the sun,
I'm still searching for the only one.
Life after life, I'll find your light,
Even if it takes a thousand nights.
Every kingdom falls away,
Every stone begins to fade.
But my heart remembers you...
Even when my mind can't.
Bridge
If the gods should write my fate,
Don't let our souls arrive too late.
If tomorrow steals my breath,
Find me somewhere after death.
Call my name beyond the skies,
I'll know your voice through different lives.
No crown, no throne, no endless sea
Could ever keep you far from me.
Final Chorus
Empire of dust, let empires fall,
Love is older than them all.
When this life becomes the past,
I'll keep searching until we're the last.
The stars may change, the years may run,
The moon may hide, the rivers turn.
But one soul will always know...
The way back home to yours.
Outro
When the sand forgets my name...
Find me again...
In the next life...
I'll be waiting...
