7. Sahara (5:47)
A ballad of dark queen echoes through night
As he flees the curse of gods, the pharaoh`s wrath.
[Chorus:]
One thousand one nights unseen,
The philosopher and the queen.
Ancient mariner in a sea of sand,
The burning beauty his tomb to die for.
[Chorus]
(Horizon`s swarming with death
Run!)
Heaven has a darkened face,
Dunes are soaring as on a chase.
Caravan of the cursed
Chasing him across the waves.
May he now rest under aegis of mirage
As the sands slowly turn to Elysian fields.
[Chorus]
(One thousand one)
[Chorus]
(One thousand one)
(One thousand one)
(One thousand one)
As he flees the curse of gods, the pharaoh`s wrath.
[Chorus:]
One thousand one nights unseen,
The philosopher and the queen.
Ancient mariner in a sea of sand,
The burning beauty his tomb to die for.
[Chorus]
(Horizon`s swarming with death
Run!)
Heaven has a darkened face,
Dunes are soaring as on a chase.
Caravan of the cursed
Chasing him across the waves.
May he now rest under aegis of mirage
As the sands slowly turn to Elysian fields.
[Chorus]
(One thousand one)
[Chorus]
(One thousand one)
(One thousand one)
(One thousand one)
