Persia (Trance of Forty Lights)

[Intro] [Verse 1] Persia, Persia — whispering sand, Echoes of ages lost in the land. Warm desert wind carries each name, Silence remembers all of the same. Gold in the sky, the stars confess, Every step hides a secret to guess. [Chorus] Persia, Persia — land of dreams! If I was, if I was born in these scenes, Singing, I’m lighter than I’ve ever been, Persia, Persia, Persia, Persia — My father’s Persian! [Verse 2] Persia, Persia — veil of the night, Fog in the courtyards, dim silver light. Lamps flicker softly, fading away, Melting like visions that never will stay. Marks on the walls no one can read, Answers are hidden where old shadows lead. [Chorus] Persia, Persia — land of dreams! If I was, if I was born in these scenes, Singing, I’m lighter than I’ve ever been, Persia, Persia, Persia, Persia — My father’s Persian! [Verse 3] Persia, Persia — road without end, Steps of the caravan twist and bend. Dust rising up like fate in disguise, Following close under infinite skies. Who you are — only the journey knows, Turn to the song and the answer will show. [Chorus] Persia, Persia — land of dreams! If I was, if I was born in these scenes, Singing, I’m lighter than I’ve ever been, Persia, Persia, Persia, Persia — My father’s Persian! [Break] Do you believe that silence is fear? That shadows only mean something unclear? No, no, no — listen again, There is a code in the sound and the sand. Every note is a sign in disguise, Music awakens what quietly lies. Follow the song into the unknown — You won’t return as the one you had known. [Chorus] Persia, Persia — land of dreams! If I was, if I was born in these scenes, Singing, I’m lighter than I’ve ever been, Persia, Persia, Persia, Persia — My father’s Persian! [Verse 4] Persia, Persia — dawn softly breaks, Light reveals paths the darkness takes. What felt like illusion, a trick of the mind, Turns to a destiny you were meant to find. If you can hear what the night has confessed, Persia has chosen you out of the rest. [Final Chorus] Persia, Persia — land of dreams! If I was, if I was born in these scenes, Singing, I’m lighter than I’ve ever been, Persia, Persia, Persia, Persia — My father’s Persian!
