I wear my warrior outfi t, I’m thinking of you.
My dark dyed tuareg headcloth, my skin turning blue.
Million hazy miles ahead, wading through sand.
Red rocks, withered bones, once a fertile land.
In a faroff marble tower, a little girl is kept within.
Crying in the desert, weeping on the wind.
In my path stands the angel with the fl aming sword,
as the twilight whispers in awe of the Lord.
World turned upside down, an hourglass counting time.
Sand slowly trickling through, it’s God’s sadistic crime.
As the last grain hangs suspended, everything turns still,
and still will be forever, according to his will.
Safely back in comfort, forgetting where I’ve been.
Fighting obstructing angels, wrestling hostile Djinns.
Now I’m sleeping by the starfi lled well.
No dreams of heaven, no fear of hell.
