Ghostlimb

Lyrics to 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 fertile a difference place and time
