Recorded in 2011 for my Kamelot Audition with Mike Pelillo - New Additional Backing Vocals
Liner-Notes 1999:
This is based on the tales \"Arabian Nights\" written 100's of years ago.
Out of this tale spawned Sindbad, Ali Baba and many more. Queen Scheherazade
is kept captive and sentenced to die for adultery. The song was my
favorite to record and also the lush strings we added make it very Epic.
\"The art of being a slave is to rule one's master\".
came across
the waters
a kingdom in the sands
unfaithful to the sultan
a killing was at hand
challenged to survival
a legacy of fear
eternal mystic legends
one for every tear
nights of Arabia
the queen has lost her right to life
nights of Arabia
her destiny in story lines
nights of Arabia
a thousand tales and one for life
these are nights of Arabia
whispers in the moonlight
a gathering of vales
circled round the fire
to hear this evenings tale
standing on the threshold
the crest of darkened nights
seduction of the hunter
the slave regains her might
\"lost inside a shadow
erase the sins I've made
heavenly reward me
with mercy on my fate\"
nights of Arabia
the queen has lost her right to life
nights of Arabia
her destiny in story lines
nights of Arabia
a thousand tales and one for life
these are nights of Arabia
Scheherazade will never die
the sultan relents his feeble heart
his love for the queen is greater than he'll ever know
\"it's easy to let you feed my nights
someone to touch, someone to hold,
someone to feel, someone to love\"
\"here I am to die alone
voices from heaven above
hear my call awaken my soul
forgive me for what I have done\"
challenged to survival
a legacy of fear
eternal mystic legends
one for every tear
