The towers that shoulder your pride   The words you've written in stone   Sand will cover them, sand will cover you   The streets that suffer your name   Your very flesh and your bones   Sand will cover them, sand will cover you      So put your faith in more than steel   Don't store your treasures up, with moth and rust   Where thieves break in and steal   Pull the fangs from out your heel   We live in but a shadow of the real      Step out from time, see the dust of nations   Step out from time, hear the stars ovation      Saturn will not sleep, until the sand has made us clean   Still we stack our stones and bury what we can   But it all will be undone, and nothing built under the sun   Will ever stand before the endless march of sand
