[Intro – isolated oud melody, soft desert wind ambience] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – spacious piano chords, sparse walking upright bass, ney flute responses] I walk where the silence remembers Sand keeps what time erased Your name lives under the surface A trace I cannot replace [Chorus – fuller brushed jazz groove, expressive oud lead, warm tape texture] Slow fire under my skin Ancient, but never gone I hear it call from within A truth I stand upon [Verse 2 – minimal piano arpeggios, muted bass, airy ney phrases] No light — only reflection No past — only the line I follow the same direction Where your shadow meets mine [Bridge – modal free improvisation, near-silence pauses, subtle oud trills] (Instrumental Solo) [Chorus – stripped-back, intimate, ney flute weaving with vocals] No noise. Only breath. Sand holds. I don’t forget. You were not lost. You were buried. I dig. I find. [Outro – ney flute fading into desert wind ambience, final soft oud strum] (Instrumental Solo)
