Blues for Allah / Sand Castles & Glass Camels / Unusual Occurrences in the Desert

Lyrics

Arabian wind
The needle's eye is thin
The ships of state sail on mirage
And drown in sand

Out in no man's land
Where Allah does command
What good is spilling blood?
It will not grow a thing

Taste eternity
The swords sing
"Blues for Allah, insha'Allah"

They lie where they fall
There's nothing more to say
The desert stars are bright tonight
Let's meet as friends

The flower of Islam
The fruit of Abraham
The thousand stories
Have come 'round to one again

Arabian night
Our gods pursue their fight
What fatal flowers of darkness
Bloom from seeds of light?

Bird of paradise
Fly in white sky
"Blues for Allah, insha'Allah"

Let's see with our heart
These things our eyes have seen
And know the truth must still lie
Somewhere in between

Under eternity
Under eternity
Under eternity
Under eternity
Under eternity
Under eternity
Under eternity
Under eternity

Under eternity
Under eternity
Under eternity
Under eternity
Under eternity
Under eternity
Under eternity
Under eternity
Under eternity
Under eternity

Bird of paradise fly in white sky
Peace for all of inshallah
