    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, Insh'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 flight
    What fatal flowers of darkness bloom from seeds of light
    Bird of Paradise fly in the white sky

    Blues for Allah, Insh'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 blue
    Under eternity
    Under eternity
    Under eternity blue

    Bird of Paradise fly in white sky
    Blues for Allah, Insh'Allah

Under eternity

Under eternity blue
