Black Sands - Oath to Order

These tables are haunted by the ghost of Las Vegas Their chips were once mountains but they came here to play They could take me if they wanted but I have nothing worth counting And like the sands of Nevada they go drifting away Lady luck's still a mystery with her head on my shoulder And I don't know why I still want her to dance I guess that's all history what it is is I'm older And I'm still a fool for your one-way romance Her dice were red rubies, they rolled and they tumbled And I never saw time running out with my roll And in the wasteland of cut glass my dreams were all crumbled And I've paid with whatever I had left for a soul Now the dawn's broken even on a empty horizon No reason for folding, no reason to stay It's too soon to be leaving, too late for criticizing And the sands of Nevada go drifting away

Realise that I was your only hope And I will watch your suffering As life swiftly fades away Without me your faith is lost The solace for your sanity will soon be gone Pendulum motion, your body swings silently A now empty resivouir of what was once tears Dried like your bones residing in the ground Emptiness fills my soul Before me lies a black abyss The future is the past gone amiss The whispers of life dissipate Save me before its too late Oh, the sorrow of our loss Will haunt us throughout the rest of our lives Woah-oh-oh-oh Say your goodbyes We will transcend to the skies All these emotions are chemical Recepie for a disaster building inside of me The world is a barren battleground where our hearts just play a game Without me all hope is lost The only real person that truly remains This token of my gratitude of all you have done Had brought out the worst inside of you Your heart is blackened And the blood in your veins was the poison that I drank So now I am lost amongst the world shrouded in a whirlwind of pain And though I am still alive my faith will never be the same Oh, the sorrow of our loss Will haunt us throughout the rest of our lives Woah-oh-oh-oh Say your goodbyes We will transcend to the skies The tears that once had fallen left a stain On the world and in my brain The silence of the loss of life is a Burden we will carry forever in our minds
