Lyrics
Intro
Verse 1
The sun is bleeding on the edge of the sky
Ancient sands swallow every cry
I hear the echo of a thousand years
Carved in the stone, washed by the tears
The dunes are shifting like a restless mind
Leaving the ghosts of the past behind
Pre-Chorus
The wind whispers secrets in a tongue of fire
Lifting my spirit from the funeral pyre
The omen is clear...
Ya Habibi, Ya Zaman
Chorus
O, Light of the East, rise from the dust!
In the heart of the storm, in the iron we trust
I am the seeker, the flame in the night
Through the valley of shadows, I’m chasing the light!
Verse 2
The oasis is dry, but the vision is deep
Awake from the slumber, the giants don’t sleep
My hands are stained with the ink of the stars
Healing the soul, but keeping the scars
Bridge
Speak to the sand!
Command the wind!
The cycle of time
Where the heroes begin!
I RISE!
Guitar Solo
Chorus
O, Light of the East, rise from the dust!
In the heart of the storm, in the iron we trust
I am the seeker, the flame in the night
Through the valley of shadows, I’m chasing the light!
Outro
Al-madi... Al-hadr... (The past... The present...)
The myth is real.
