Lyrics below.

While I'm vaguely on the topic, it occurs to me that Deb could take
"The Golden Void" (on Warriors At The Edge Of Time, and also Palace Springs)
and turn it from a hippie mystical trip into something really really scarey...

Dave (if she could sing it without giggling, that is -- I get the impression
that HW isn't her cup of tea).


Hassan I Sabha

Black September Black September
Black September Black September
Black September Black September
Black September

Death unto all infidels, in oil
Guide us o thou genie of the smoke
Lead us to a thousand and one nights
In the perfumed gardens of delight

Petro-dollar Petro-dollar
Petrol D'allah Petrol D'allah
Petro-dollar Petro-dollar
Petro-dollar

It is written
In the soul of the desert
It is written
In the signs in the stars
It is written
In the sands of the hour-glass
It is written

It is written
In the eye of the falcon
It is written
In the shade of the scorpion
It is written
In the wealth of the sun
It is written

It is written
That man's truth is a mirage
It is written
That death's an oasis
It is written
For all unbelievers
It is written
