Arabian Wind
The Needle's Eye is thin
The Ships of State sail on mirage but drown in sand

Out in No-Man's Land
Where ALLAH does command
What good is spilling blood it will not grow a thing

                                                                       A

"Taste Eternity" the sword sings Blues for ALLAH In'sh'ALLAH

Verse 2:

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
