Time moves slow in the haze
[Intro – distant thunder, soft wind chimes] Warm sands shift beneath my feet The air grows heavy with heat [Verse 1 – rhythmic drum beat, low hum] Winds will grow soon to storms Shadows lengthen across the plains I walk alone through the dust Listening for distant rains [Pre-Chorus – rising tension, sparse strings] How far to go I cannot say Who will journey this way? [Chorus – powerful vocals, heavy percussion] Dark skies fall on black earth Clouds close over me now Far from your burning sun We bow to the storm's vow [Verse 2 – steady rhythm, deep bass] Ivory towers fade away Time moves slow in the haze Steps are heavy with doubt Lost in the misty maze [Pre-Chorus – building intensity, vocal layering] How many more will remain? Walking through wind and rain? [Chorus – intense drums, soaring melody] Dark skies fall on black earth Clouds close over me now Far from your burning sun We bow to the storm's vow [Bridge – sudden drop, quiet atmosphere] Rains wash the earth away Into another day Storms have come to claim Nothing stays the same [Final Chorus – maximum power, full ensemble] Rains have now come down From storms in Africa Time will go on and on Through storms in Africa [Outro – fading drums, soft rain sounds] The cycle begins again Water heals the pain
