Songtext von Arabian Nights

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...
