Lyrics
Verse
A thousand nights
A thousand tales
Her words like rivers carved through the sands
The moon hung low
The stars grew pale
Her voice
A lantern in darkened lands
Each whisper held the dawn at bay
Each breath a bridge to one more day
Chorus
Oh
The sands speak of Scheherazade
A weaver of dreams
A lifeline unbroken
Oh
Her voice like a prayer to the stars
A story for each dawn unspoken
Verse 2
Through desert winds and jasmine air
Kings and thieves sat bound by her thread
Djinns danced wild
A lion’s lair
Her words gave life where hope had fled
A ship at sea
A blade that gleams
A palace built on shifting dreams
Prechorus
Oh
The night stretched long
The silence leaned in close
But her tale grew strong
Chorus
Oh
The sands speak of Scheherazade
A weaver of dreams
A lifeline unbroken
Oh
Her voice like a prayer to the stars
A story for each dawn unspoken
Bridge
One thousand nights
And one more still
A tale for love
A tale for will
The king's cold heart
Her words did warm
A tempest tamed
A raging storm
