[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
A ballad of a dark queen
Echoes through night
As he flees the curse of gods
The pharaoh's wrath

[Chorus]
One thousand one
Nights unseen
The philosopher
And the queen

[Verse 2]
Ancient mariner
In a sea of sand
The burning beauty his
Tomb to die for

[Chorus]
One thousand one
Nights unseen
The philosopher
And the queen (Horizon's swarming with death, run)
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Heaven has a darkened face
Dunes are soaring, as on a chase
Caravan of the cursed
Chasing him across the waves

[Interlude]
(Ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)

[Bridge]
May he now rest under aegis of mirage
(Mirage, mirage, mirage, mirage, mirage, mirage, mirage, mirage)
As the sands slowly turn to Elysian fields?
(Mirage, mirage, mirage, mirage, mirage, mirage, mirage, mirage; Yeah, yeah)

[Chorus]
One thousand one
Nights unseen
The philosopher
And the queen (One thousand one)
One thousand one (Yeah)
Nights unseen (Hey, yeah, hey, yeah, yeah)
The philosopher (Oh, woah)
And the queen (Hey, yeah, hey; One thousand one)
[Post-Chorus]
Hey, yah, way, yeah, yeah, yah, yah
Hey, yah, way, yeah, yeah, yah, yah
Hey, yah, way, yeah, yeah, yah, yah
Hey, yah, way, yeah, yeah, yah, yah (One thousand one)

[Outro]
(One thousand one)
