about

About:

Single from upcoming EP

This track is about slavery in ancient Egypt and their denial to time.
Slaves are forgotten.
Their existence is lost within time and their names erased for eternity. Although the slaves did the hard labor to build the monuments that glorified once a leading civilization, nobody remembers the prisoners of war, the locals in debt or the criminals deemed to a lifetime of atonement, who were made into slaves.

We can draw an analogy between slavery in ancient Egypt and modern day workers who are inevitably tied to a lifetime of payments. After they cease to exist, modern day workers will follow the same fate as the forgotten slaves of ancient Egypt as far as time is concerned.

lyrics

Lyrics:

As we place the forgotten stones
To fill the cracks of its timeless glory
Impaired, compelled to endeavor
Abandoned the right to claim, to live and prosper

Blood and sand mark their lives
Unwillingly bound to obliteration
Enslavement and plunder
Shattered into subjugation

And the realm forgot these stones of time
Of concealed suffering
Our blood stains the blades of masters
Of life consumed in vain

Shattered are the souls of defeated crowns
Blood spills in fear of a death untold
Of a death untold
Our steps engrave the forgotten stones of time
Our sons shall never see the light of existence
Shall never see the light of existence

And the realm forgot these stones of time
Of concealed suffering
Our blood stains the blades of masters
Of life consumed in vain

Blood and sand mark their lives
Unwillingly bound to obliteration
Enslavement and plunder
Shattered into subjugation

And the realm forgot these stones of time
