[Intro]
(Inhale. Footsteps crunch over dry ground)
Echoes, low and heavy – a warning thrown by the wind
I followed smoke eastward, heartbeat in the soil
[Verse 1]
Sundown stains on ruined stone columns—
Empty gatekeepers / shadows chained to dusk
You spoke gently through a slit in the silence,
then vanished. The sky empties quicker without you.
Confessions left to freeze, half-said in the dust.
[Pre-Chorus]
Strings shudder—oud wails under moon’s gaze
Across the river, I see your outline, stilled
[Chorus]
Will you wait where dust drifts east?
Every step echoes in silence, and silence carries weight
I return through dust, through distance, through ache—
Will you wait?
Wait for me in dust of passage
[Verse 2]
Patterns carved in the courtyard, worn by centuries—
We built stories from pebbles, hope in each fault line
I heard the battle call grow quieter each night,
but you still stood, unmoved by its fever.
The walls bend inward, silence cuts / line breaks
[Pre-Chorus]
Atmosphere thickens—haunting reverb clings to memory
I watch the low flame tremble, wait for your return
[Chorus]
Will you wait where dust drifts east?
Every step echoes in silence, and silence carries weight
I return through dust, through distance, through ache—
Will you wait?
Wait for me in dust of passage
[Bridge]
You are not a ghost nor myth—
just a name caught in wind
If time twists, let it break—
I will spill through the gap you left / silence thunders
[Chorus]
Will you wait where dust drifts east?
Every step echoes in silence, and silence carries weight
I return through dust, through distance, through ache—
Will you wait?
Wait for me in dust of passage
