Empire of Sand
Empire of Sand: A Resilient Tale of Struggle and Triumph
Lyrics
The Sun goes high
The Sun rises.
Crawling towards the top of the Sky
Slowly ascending towards the zenith of the sky.
It shines so bright
The Sun radiates intense light.
It makes you wish you could die
The brightness of the sun makes life seem unbearable.
Masters they watch
Those in power observe.
Whipping on our backs one more notch
Punishing us with additional hardships.
We work all day
We toil throughout the day.
We won't live too long I'm afraid
Our lives are expected to be short.
Our name in their mouth stinky slave dog
Our identity is degraded as they speak ill of us.
You think my life or death is worth even less than a great slog
Our existence is deemed less valuable than a great slog.
You refuse to rest at our campfire
You avoid joining us by the campfire.
But our dirty hands are building your empire
Yet, our labor builds the empire you benefit from.
Hot sand in waves worn-out slaves
Experiencing scorching sand, exhausted slaves persevere.
Just keep the pace
Continue working at a relentless pace.
It's a deadly place
The environment is perilous.
Pyramid's tall
A tall pyramid is under construction.
It'll outlive you all building it up you will have to fall
Despite your efforts, it will outlast you, and your fall is inevitable.
Hot sand in waves worn-out slaves
Repetition of the scorching sand and worn-out slaves.
Just keep the pace
Continue maintaining the exhausting rhythm.
It's a deadly place
Emphasizing the dangerous nature of the surroundings.
Pyramid's tall
Reference to the enduring pyramid construction.
It'll outlive you all building it up you will have to fall
Despite your contribution, it will persist beyond your existence.
Hot sand in waves worn-out slaves
Reiteration of the challenging conditions faced by exhausted slaves.
Just keep the pace
Continue adhering to the demanding pace.
It's a deadly place
Reaffirmation of the hazardous environment.
Pyramid's tall
Reference to the towering pyramid with lasting endurance.
It'll outlive you all building it up you will have to fall
Despite your contributions, the structure will stand while you succumb.
