Beaten by the starved sands tortured from the tearless sky

Buried by the shattered hopes of an army of broken souls

Till a single speck of mist landed on the parched bones

And life was beckoned from the grim and dreary stones

Within the heart of the dusty corpse a grand oasis grew

And now the dreams old have meshed with hopes of new
