came across the waters

a kingdom in the sands

unfaithful to the sultan

a killing was at hand

challenged to survival

a legacy of fear

eternal mystic legends

one for every tear



nights of Arabia

the queen has lost her right to life

nights of Arabia

her destiny in story lines

nights of Arabia

a thousand tales and one for life

these are nights of Arabia



whispers in the moonlight

a gathering of vales

circled round the fire

to hear this evenings tale

standing on the threshold

the crest of darkened nights

seduction of the hunter

the slave regains her might



"lost inside a shadow

erase the sins I've made

heavenly reward me

with mercy on my fate"



nights of Arabia

the queen has lost her right to life

nights of Arabia

her destiny in story lines

nights of Arabia

a thousand tales and one for life

these are nights of Arabia

Sheherazade will never die



the sultan relents his feeble heart

his love for the queen is greater than he'll ever know

"it's easy to let you feed my nights

someone to touch, someone to hold,

someone to feel, someone to love"



"here I am to die alone

voices from heaven above

hear my call awaken my soul

forgive me for what I have done"



challenged to survival

a legacy of fear

eternal mystic legends

one for every tear
