Long Way, Silk Road Lyrics

Red sunrise

New sceneries spreading wide before me

Golden sands

Like a sea, yet silent and still

Long, torrid days

Hot dry winds and no water in sight

Leave the world

The last city gates behind

Leave them all

For the timeless sea of death

On we ride

Towards the realm of silk

Mirage of gold

Far are the battlefields of Alexander

And the blue waves of Caspian sea

Far are the turquoise halls of Samarkand

And the high valleys of Pamir

The only sound, the echo of my inner voice

The only drive, the wonders lying beyond

Cold, moonless nights

The light of stars grazing silent, grey dust

Nothing in sight

Beyond the flickering flames of bonfires

The northern winds

Lifting veils of sand, leave you deaf and blind

Have I lost my way

Curse the day I chose to travel the ancient road

Far are the battlefields of Alexander

And the blue waves of Caspian sea

Far are the turquoise halls of Samarkand

And the high valleys of Pamir

The desert’s voice, the angry cry of nature’s law

The only sound, an overwhelming force

Far are the battlefields of Alexander

And the blue waves of caspian sea

Far are the turquoise halls of samarkand

And the high valleys of pamir

The ancient road, a daring trail across the world

The only drive, the wonders lying beyond

Why am I travelling, what am I in quest for

Out on this trail of blood and tears

Far on the horizon, mighty snowy mountains

I’m but a man lost in a dream
