Beyond Desert Sands Lyrics

Serenity 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

[Bridge:] 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

[Bridge]

[Chorus:] 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

My second life had begun In the service of China's great Khan As a respected and far-travelled man I would see my dear homeland again

[Bridge]

[Chorus x2]
