lyrics

leaning on the wind's arm
looking at the moon's eye
tying up the night's hair
sighing like the sand
I saw you at the sky's side
only for a moment
overheard the song
you were singing to your love

your clothes were like a rainbow
painting the horizon
day and night together
colouring your face
turning as the world turns
you turned towards where I was
nothing but the stillness
carrying your song

we are king and queen of silence
we are histories of sound
we are burning yet we do not burn
we sanctify the ground
we are king and queen of silence
we are the time we are within
we are Egypt's ancient statues
we are touching skin with skin

we are skin

I moved between the shadows
panting like the future
stumbling over stars
that were lying in my way
I saw your eyes with my eyes
eyes which were my own eyes
all that I remember
is the song that I was singing

we are king and queen of silence
we are histories of sound
we are burning yet we do not burn
we sanctify the ground
we are king and queen of silence
we are the time we are within
we are Egypt's ancient statues
we are touching skin with skin

we are skin

we are king and queen of silence
