After the Thousand and One Nights

​[Intro] ​[Verse 1] Even if I weave a thousand nights, I suppose I still won't truly know all of you. The more I learn, the further you fade into the distance, Like a shimmering mirage, Your silhouette grows blurred and hazy. ​[Pre-Chorus] Neither the coldness of the moon Nor the heat of the sun Can chill this fever Or melt this longing away. ​[Chorus] Hidden behind that face veil, I cannot even discern the color of your lips. The only thing I know for certain Is the fact that I am a captive to you. There is no turning back now. ​[Verse 2] Like searching for a jewel Cast out into a sea of sand, I chase after your heart, Only for it to spill through my fingertips. The scent of sweet perfume, A scrap of silk cast aside— Those alone are enough to drive me mad. ​[Bridge] In the midst of a thirst that burns my throat, If the chalice offered to me Should happen to be poison, I do not care. With a single smile from you, I would gladly fall into hell. ​[Pre-Chorus 2] Neither the twinkling of the stars Nor the silence of the sands Can fill this heart Or offer me salvation. ​[Last Chorus] Hidden behind that face veil, I cannot even discern the truth in your gaze. The only thing I know for certain Is that I am simply waiting to be devoured by you. I can no longer resist. ​[Post-Chorus] A vivid despair. A paradise locked away. On the other side of the veil, If I am to be torn apart by you, Even that pain is precious to me. ​[Outro] Is it all a dream or reality? Within this sweet mirage, Even the voice calling your name Is buried beneath the sand. ​[End]
