My eyes are burned by the heat of the sun The world is spinning around and around I let go and close my eyes Then it reach my ears The fading sound of guns There by the temple at the desert's edge Endless lines of dying men, now Allegiance to the land They swore and pledged God will grant them paradise again And the moon and stars Light up the Nile Waking the ghosts of Sahara To fulfil their quest They cannot rest Until fire will reign in the whole Africa A cobra's kiss so deadly and fast The world explodes in a shower of suns The moon is down, I'm all alone Fading away Got no future, got no past And there was music in the earth and sky Rumbling drums and screaming madness This magic carpet wasn't meant to fly But to devastate the paradise of man And the moon and stars Light up the Nile Waking the ghosts of Sahara To fulfil their quest They cannot rest Until fire will reign in the whole Africa And the moon and stars Light up the Nile Waking the ghosts of Sahara To fulfil their quest They cannot rest Until fire will reign in the whole Africa And the moon and stars Light up the Nile Waking the ghosts of Sahara To fulfil their quest They cannot rest Until fire will reign in the whole Africa
