My ballad of a dark queen echoes through night
As he flees the curse of gods, the pharaoh's wrath

One-thousand-one nights unseen
The philosopher and the queen

Ancient mariner in a sea of sand
The burning beauty his tomb to die for

One-thousand-one nights unseen
The philosopher and the queen

Heaven has a darkened face
Dunes are soaring, as on a chase
Caravan of the cursed
Chasing him across the waves

May he now rest under aegis of mirage
As the sands slowly turn to Elysian fields

One-thousand-one nights unseen
The philosopher and the queen
