Lyrics: Nightwish. Dark Passion Play. Sahara.

My ballad of a dark queen echoes through light
As he feels 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
(Horizon's swarming with death, run)

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
(One thousand one)

One thousand one nights unseen
The philosopher and the queen
(One thousand one)

One thousand one
One thousand one
