Lyrics to House Of Sand [Full Album 2022] by Dawnwalker

Tracklist: 01. R.I.P. Oh, lover I know it’s over But I want you to hold my hand Dear darlings It’s all or nothing But I want you to bathe with me again On your way out Tear the walls down Leave none behind This is the end Dear mother Gone forever But I’m ready to come home On your way out Burn your home down Leave none alive This is the end Save your last breath Don’t tweak your last nerve At your wit’s end The demon dwells on our sins You’ll be in a better place soon Speak all your fears into being Joke about your sinking feeling Talk aloud with all of your demons Choke on all the love that you’re feeling The demon will tempt you Don’t choke Keep your nerve now When your past catches up You will never pay this debt If a death makes sense of life May your past be forever retold 02. Demon Of Noontide In the dark will awake Many demons to play But in the cold light of day (Acedia) is one who walks unafraid Beneath a haze of midday sun A man and his work are never done As dreary as the day is long My mind is far away An indolence of the heart will open the door To all of the havoc that he hath wrought What maketh the man heavy, dull and wrawe No keeping the devil’s work from the door Time goes by Ever decreasing circles At the height of day I went astray I lost control Terrified Do they know? The good life is all for show Cast into the unknown We shall reap what we’ve sewn At the end of it all Each of us dies alone In the dark will awake Many demons to play But in the cold light of day (Acedia) is one who walks unafraid Hiding in plain sight Devil in daylight Standing behind Demon of noontide 03. The Witness The situation is becoming untenable I no longer see eye-to-eye with the others We can no longer communicate I have a desire to live in my own way Away from prying eyes And those fair-weather friends who would force their misery upon me If I have to burn a few bridges then so be it A bit of peace and quiet, that’s really all I need “Peace, peace ! he is not dead, he doth not sleep ! He hath awakened from the dream of life.” 04. False Doors Muddied in the tide Of a boy’s mis-spent lifetime The mind begins to wander In a haze of the memories returning Draw all the curtains and lock all the doors Rise from the table and float through the walls Draw all the curtains and lock all the doors The lights are on but nobody’s home A fantasy degraded and fading To the point of no returning Never said a word Seen not heard Paid no mention Draw all the curtains and lock all the doors Rise from the table and float through the walls Draw all the curtains and lock all the doors The lights are on but nobody’s home I know the lights are on but nobody’s home I will exit this castle and be free to roam Fall into a reverie Turn from what’s in front of me Shroud yourself in misery Doomed to wander endlessly 05. Egypt All your pain and sorrow Left to dry out in the sun Bitter pill to swallow When your life has come undone To atone for all I’ve done Be remembered when I’m gone Will the damage be undone Has it only just begun One road left to follow When you know your time has come To atone for all I’ve done Be remembered when I’m gone Will the damage be undone Has it only just begun Wrap my bones in linen Cover my face in mud Seal me up inside a chamber Carry me into the next life To atone for all I’ve done Be remembered when I’m gone Will the damage be undone Has it only just begun 06. House Of Sand (Elvis Presley cover) Oh you can take a whole lot of sand And build a castle on the beach And though you mold it and you plan Still you got nothing in your reach One little slip and it tumbles down One wrong step and it crumbles all around Like a house without love It’s sure to fall apart A house of sand is an empty work of art Or you can build a tower of clay But if you ask my advice Well, it’s worthless I say It’s got no heart, it’s cold as ice One little slip and it tumbles down One wrong step and it crumbles all around Like a house without love It’s sure to fall apart A house of sand is an empty work of art 07. The Prisoner Someone has locked me in this godforsaken house Or else... I mislaid the keys Anyway, I’m alone here now A prisoner in my own home But an Englishman’s house is his castle What do I care for them now? Silence Except for the ticking of that infernal clock And the cackling of crows mocking from the gardens 08. Repeater On and on The past repeating Deeper down Now I see the light receding Drifting further from the world Memory repeating Sinking deeper in the hole A tale with no beginning A deeper recess of the soul On and on and on... Swaddled in the echo chamber Taking comfort in the glow Memory repeating Sinking deeper in the hole A riddle with no meaning A deeper recess of the soul On and on and on... Safe in the womb A broken TV glow Laughter ever echoes Bathing in the static glow Memory repeating Sinking deeper in the hole A story with no ending A deeper recess of the soul Safe and warm in my cocoon Just leave me be 09. Coming Forth By Day What can I do to break the curse? Folding the temple into the dirt Eyes painted black All dressed in white Many feet upon the earth Going west A mortal wound Is it a curse or a blessing? A sacrifice No place of rest Raise your hands to the heavens Now, kneel before me Place one hand on the altar Now, bow before me Place one hand on the other A drop of blood hits the sand Anubis raises his right hand An offering A feast of souls All the pleasures of the flesh Paint it on the wall No story to tell To all those who come Here is where I Sacred waters Submerge their heads Cruel death Murder Rise from the dead 10. Standing Stones Pray for the children And standing stones to guide their way Lead on through the garden And judge me not, Lord For all that I have done When I am gone In the course of time we’ll understand it all Separate timelines Only when it’s all behind us Severed lifelines Move into the light And leave the past behind us Father, lead on through the gardens out of time Standing stones to guide their way Don’t leave us all behind Oh no On and on and on it goes... 11. The Master Slowly dawns the new day Not in bright sun but eerie grey How funny that the master should end up like this A fallen man Broken, pathetic “You must be thicker than shit in the neck of a bottle!” Oops! Mind your P’s and Q’s If you feel small, that’s rather your own fault So keep your pecker up And change the record, dear boy We’ve heard this one too many times before 12. House Of Sand II Houses of sand Slowly crumbling Pillar of Salt Blows in the wind Falling out of time Fading out of view If out of sight is out of mind Then all your dreams came true Now is the time Take the stage Recite your lines Take your seat at the table Eat your greens And say your prayers No, no, no Houses of sand Slowly crumbling Pillar of Salt Blows in the wind 13.
