Beyond Desert Sands
Unbelievable
That's what they say when I speak true
Then they jeer at me like fools may do
So deplorable
This narrow-minded ignorance
I won't tell them how my story ends
Tell me why should I lie
(As I'm going to die)
All my memories are true, I swear
I remember them
The kingdoms of the rising sun
And I still hear the sound of silver chimes
Gold and ivory
Precious gems and silken robes
Marble palaces from sunken times
Tell me why should I lie
(As I'm going to die)
All my memories are true, I swear
Illusions, all troubles and tears
Had I been dreaming my life for seventeen years?
(Seventeen years)
So many wonders I've seen
Roaming the far eastern lands beyond desert sands
My second life had begun
In the service of China's great Khan
As a respected and far-traveled man
I would see my dear homeland again
Tell me why should I lie
(As I'm going to die)
All my memories are true, I swear
Illusions, all troubles and tears
Had I been dreaming my life for seventeen years?
(Seventeen years)
So many wonders I've seen
Roaming the far eastern lands beyond desert sands
Illusions, all troubles and tears
Had I been dreaming my life for seventeen years?
So many wonders I've seen
Roaming the far eastern lands beyond desert sands
That's what they say when I speak true
Then they jeer at me like fools may do
So deplorable
This narrow-minded ignorance
I won't tell them how my story ends
Tell me why should I lie
(As I'm going to die)
All my memories are true, I swear
I remember them
The kingdoms of the rising sun
And I still hear the sound of silver chimes
Gold and ivory
Precious gems and silken robes
Marble palaces from sunken times
Tell me why should I lie
(As I'm going to die)
All my memories are true, I swear
Illusions, all troubles and tears
Had I been dreaming my life for seventeen years?
(Seventeen years)
So many wonders I've seen
Roaming the far eastern lands beyond desert sands
My second life had begun
In the service of China's great Khan
As a respected and far-traveled man
I would see my dear homeland again
Tell me why should I lie
(As I'm going to die)
All my memories are true, I swear
Illusions, all troubles and tears
Had I been dreaming my life for seventeen years?
(Seventeen years)
So many wonders I've seen
Roaming the far eastern lands beyond desert sands
Illusions, all troubles and tears
Had I been dreaming my life for seventeen years?
So many wonders I've seen
Roaming the far eastern lands beyond desert sands
