Merit's Lament lyrics

[Verse 1] Whispers on the desert breeze Of secrets that the sand decrees An echo from a time long past A shadow, in this silence cast [Chorus] Merit, born of ancient light Lost within the endless night Merit, watches centuries turn Lessons that the ages learn [Verse 2] Pharaohs rise and turn to dust Empires crumble, fall to rust Still the starlight finds my eyes Beneath these ancient, endless skies [Chorus] Merit, born of ancient light Lost within the endless night Merit, watches centuries turn Lessons that the ages learn [Bridge] Machinery hums, a distant sound While ancient mysteries confound My silent vigil, ever bound [Chorus] Merit, born of ancient light Lost within the endless night Merit, watches centuries turn Lessons that the ages learn
