[Verse 1] Footsteps in the burning sand, miles from home The caravan advances slowly, through the wild unknown I left my past in pieces, there's nothing left to remember Chasing a whisper, chasing dreams of gold My steps drag under a heavy sky But I see the turquoise towers starting to rise! [Pre-chorus] The doors open wide, I feel the fever inside No more running away, no more place to hide I'm moving away from the horizon... Welcome to Samarkand! [Chorus] Ô Samarkand! City of azure and gold! Under the deep blue domes, the greatest story is told! I've weathered the desert storms, I've broken the endless night Now I stand proud, bathed in your holy light! Yep, it’s Samarkand! [Verse 2] The grand bazaar is bustling, spices in the air Smell of local bread, people everywhere Golden silk, loud words, shaking the ground I threw my big bags right in front of the door As I watch, shadows on the wall I came as a simple walker, now I lead everything! [Chorus] Ô Samarkand! City of azure and gold! Under the deep blue domes, the greatest story is told! I've weathered the desert storms, I've broken the endless night Now I stand proud, bathed in your holy light! [Verse 3] Climb the stairs where the king stood Peering at the observatory, looking at the terrain Midnight on the roof, looking at the stars I overcame my little life, my wounds and my scars The universe turns, the centuries pass Time is just an illusion under this open sky. [Bridge] The caravan will leave when you wake up in the morning But I'm not the same after dawn I came to buy and sell, to make a name for myself as a trader But the magic of the stars put my greed to shame... (Beat begins to develop frantically again) Yeah, time is a ghost, and the road is calling! [Chorus] Ô Samarkand! City of azure and gold! Under the deep blue domes, the greatest story is told! I've weathered the desert storms, I've broken the endless night Now I stand proud, bathed in your holy light! Yep, it’s Samarkand! [Outro] I came as a traveler, I leave as a poet... The road never ends and the stars already know it. It's all there, look at the sky...
