The Grateful Dead - Blues for Allah lyrics
[The Grateful Dead - Blues for Allah lyrics]
The Ships of State sail on mirage
And drown in sand out in No man's Land
Where Allah does command
What good is spilling blood?It will not
Grow a thing taste eternity
The swords sings Blues for Allah
In'sh Allah
They lie where they fall
There's nothing more to say
The desert stars are bright tonight
Let's meet as friends the Flower of Islam
The Fruit of Abraham
The thousand stories have
Come 'round to one again arabian night
Our gods pursue their fight
What fatal flowers of darkness spring from
Seeds of light bird of paradise - Fly
In white sky blues for Allah
In'sh'Allah
Let's see with our heart
These things our eyes have seen
And know the truth must still lie
Somewhere in between under eternity
Under eternity under eternity
Blue bird of paradise
Fly in white sky
Under eternity blues
For Allah in'sh'Allah
