Arabian Nights Lyrics - Singles - Stormwitch

Hot sand is all around me 

singeing my skin, burning my face 

I'm longing for some water 

fata morgana in the haze 

I feel the strong irons made of steel 

and since seven years 

rusty chains strangle my neck 

Sore weals are the whip's hot, bloody seals 

every night and day 

they seem to burn on my back 

Arabian nights 

nightmares of heat and pain and fright 

I see the light 

the end of the slavery 

Arabian nights 

stars of the desert shine on me 

I feel the light 

the time's right to break the chains and flee 

Three thousand miles of torture 

ten thousand slaves all in a row 

my eyes are dim with fever 

my vital force is running low 

I know that they'll never let me go 

I made up my mind 

to get away, to take a flight 

Cruel whip, tonight I will flee your grip 

I'll be off before 

daylight displaces the night 

Arabian nights...
