Sands of Time
The Dogma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While the wind is taking its first steps
The Ancient rites blow life into the darkness
Let your sense spread this charm inside your heart
Dogma
Now taste the quite
The embrace of moonlight
Sands 'till the sun will rise
Grains of sand slip out of my hands
Of As my life they flow without hold
Sea of sand and stars is rising in my heart
Time
Now taste the quite
The embrace of moonlight
Dreams and sins united
'till the sun will rise
Bring me to life
Don't blind my eyes
I'll be delighted
By this oriental night
Fly, follow your dreams
Through deserts and seas
There you will find your self
Face, fight all your fears
Visions are clear
Now you've received this gift...
Now taste the quite
The embrace of moonlight
Dreams and sins united
'till sun will rise
Bring me to life
Don't blind my eyes
I'll be delighted
By this oriental night
Fly, follow your dreams
Through deserts and seas
The There you will find your self
Face, fight all your fears
Dogma Visions are clear
Now you've received this gift...

The singer urges the listener to let the charm of the moment spread inside their heart, and to taste the quiet and embrace of the moonlight. The lyrics describe the feeling of grains of sand slipping out of the singer's hands, representing the passage of time and the transience of life.
The imagery of the song is rich and evocative. It refers to an oriental night and depicts the listener flying through deserts and seas, fighting their fears and receiving a gift of clear visions. The song creates a dreamlike atmosphere, as if encouraging the listener to let go of their usual reality and experience something new and transcendent.
Overall, "Sands of Time" seems to be about the transient nature of life and the power of mysticism to bring a moment of enchantment and clarity.
