[Verse I]
Two in the morning/do you know where your children are?
Grade A students/are they influence by shooting stars?//
Take a look out toward that valley, mama!
Where the bodies stay moving/ball of gas, breathes hotter drama//
We bring precipitation/to all those thirsty faces/
Cactus in the desert/symbol of last salvation//
Hourglass lays prone/succumbed by grains of sand/
Anonymous nomads/regards for no man//
[Bridge x4]
Step by step
We’re walking toward that mirage
Step by step, we’re walking…
Is it really real?
Is it really real?
[Chorus x4]
Gods don’t sleep
We come alive in that Desert Heat
[Verse II]
Lust and temptation/orgies in the oasis/
Hot steam blurring faces/eating grapes from her graces//
Osiris/resurrecting unkindness/
Dionysus/turning water to wine as we sip, sip, sip//
Lotus bud/pressed against my lips/
Inhale a hit/embrace a trip/achieve this enlightenment//
Fighting with/angels and demons/engaging the credence/
To know oneself is to perceive through the pretense//
[Bridge x4]
Step by step
We’re walking toward that mirage
Step by step, we’re walking…
Is it really real?
Is it really real?
[Chorus x4]
Gods don’t sleep
We come alive in that Desert Heat
[Verse III]
Lived a thousand lifespans/Khopesh in my right hand
Dancing on a knife’s edge/Uncivilized when night sets//
Ra-Horakhty/East to West/
Falcon head/never rest/
Solar disc and a double crown/
Bet on me? Better double down!//
Enemies/dead all around/
splitting seas when touching ground/
Figurines carved out of gold/
Engraved the greatest stories told/
Glorious/colossal/
Mere mortals turned to fossils
Star stuff to desert dust/
Putting fear in other apostles//
[Outro]
Step by step, by step, by step, by step
We’re walking…
Step by step, by step, by step, by step
We’re walking…
Is it really real?!
[Chorus x8]
Gods don’t sleep
We come alive in that Desert Heat
