Sword Of The East lyrics

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 wind 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
