"Sahara" lyrics

Sahara

A ballad of dark queen
Echoes through night
As he flees the curse of gods
The pharaoh's wrath

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

One thousand one nights unseen
The philosopher and the queen
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

One thousand one nights unseen
The philosopher and the queen

One thousand one nights unseen
The philosopher and the queen
