A starless night

Older than death

The sand dunes of life

Hold their breath

My eyes are closed

Dreaming for you

The holy wars

Time will subdue



Hot desert winds

Never cease

Forgive their sins

Sword of the East



Your swords of steel

Have turned to guns

Your desert steed

Has been outrun

And now you hide

Under the night

To wait for dawn

To continue the fight



Hot desert winds

Never cease

Forgive their sins

Sword of the East



Hot desert winds

Never cease

Forgive their sins

Sword of the East



Gather up the fallen!



The children you bear

Are born into war

Their eyes of despair

Your generals ignore

So now you dream

Of mysterious lands

Warm blood of the past

Still flows in the sand



Hot desert winds

Never cease

Forgive their sins

Sword of the East
