Sahara - Nightwish
Album: Dark Passion Play
A ballad of a dark queen echoes through night
As he flees the curse of gods, the pharaoh’s wrath
1001 nights unseen
The philosopher and the queen
Ancient mariner in a sea of sand
The burning beauty his tomb to die for
Horizon’s swarming with death
Run!
Heaven has a darkened face
Dunes are soaring, as on a chase
Caravan of the cursed
Chasing him across the waves
May he now rest under aegis of mirage
As the sands slowly turn to Elysian fields?

The song was written and composed by Tuomas H.
It is a reference to the book "One Thousand and One Nights", where Scheherazade keep telling stories to a murderous king in order to stay alive.
