Shining Oasis

Unknown lands, their call ever strong
Then, my chance to set out for where I belong
Left my home and crossed the sea, dropped my old idenity
Found another way to live my life
Learned their language and their rites but had this dream in many nights
The one about the day when I return again
I will tell them of marvels my eyes have seen
Grandest of places where I’ve ever been
Shingin oasis, dream made of stone
My fate led me there where desert winds moan
Sunlight’s glance is enchanting the place
Colours dance on walls hewn in far ancient days
Rose red city in the sand, true myth from an Eastern land
I am standing breathless, without words
Temples under deep blue skies unknown to European eyes
Centuries they had slept here in desert’s heart
I will tell them of marvels my eyes have seen
Grandest of places where I’ve ever been
Shingin oasis, dream made of stone
My fate led me there where desert winds moan
In these lands illusions can fool you
In merciless lights they glitter
Ancient wonders did reveal, the place I found is real
History will know my name
I will tell them of marvels my eyes have seen
Grandest of places where I’ve ever been
Shingin oasis, dream made of stone
My fate led me there where desert winds moan
I will tell them of marvels my eyes have seen
Grandest of places where I’ve ever been
Shingin oasis, dream made of stone
My fate led me there where desert winds moan
