Lyrics Scimitar - Ghostlimb

Scimitar

Black death
While they were crying
In their bibles ancient knowledge rested in Arabic
From Toledo east to the Caspian
6000 years stand as a testament
While the mystery of the hinterland
Draws our eyes from the typical
The east always wears a tarnished crown
In the court of the peripheral they laid
Straight border lines
This cuts the tie that binds
The crescent one more failure
A difference place and time
