Tears in the desert,
A fountain of rain
Filling the deep well
Of despair, endless pain.
Morning brings sadness,
Young life sacrificed.
Curse on the Sultan
What a price, what a price,
Wicked sacrifice.
What a price, what a price,
Wicked sacrifice.
Hope in the desert,
A jewel in the sand.
Tales of her wisdom
Would spread through the land.
Could she bring laughter,
Ease the pain?
One thousand tales,
One thousand nights,
One thousand dark
Arabian nights,
One thousand tales to wish upon...
Could she bring laughter,
Ease the pain?
One thousand tales,
One thousand nights,
One thousand dark
Arabian nights,
One thousand tales to wish upon tonight.
