"Sahara" lyrics - NIGHTWISH

A ballad of a dark queen echoes through night
As he flees the curse of gods, the pharaoh's wrath

[Chorus:]
1001 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 2x]
