Blues for Allah Lyrics

Grateful Dead

Arabian wind, the needle′s eye is thin
The Ships of State sail on mirage, and drown in sand
Out in No-man's Land where Allah does command
What good is spilling blood? It will not grow a thing

Taste eternity, the swords sing
Blues for Allah, in′sh Allah

They lie where they fall, there's nothing more to say
The desert stars are bright tonight, let's meet as friends
The Flower of Islam, the Fruit of Abraham
The thousand stories have come ′round to one again

Arabian night, our gods pursue their fight
What fatal flowers of darkness spring from seeds of light

Bird of paradise, fly in white sky
Blues for Allah, in′sh'Allah

Let′s see with our heart these things our eyes have seen
And know the truth must still lie somewhere in between

Under eternity, under eternity
Under eternity, blue
Under eternity, under eternity
Under eternity, blue
Under eternity, under eternity
Under eternity, blue
Under eternity (bird of paradise), under eternity (fly)
Under eternity, blue

Under eternity, under eternity
Under eternity, blue
Under eternity, under eternity (blues)
Under eternity, blue
Under eternity (bird of paradise), under eternity (fly)
Under eternity, blue
Under eternity, under eternity
Under eternity, blue
Under eternity (blue), under eternity
Under eternity, blue

Bird of paradise, fly in white sky
Blues for Allah, in'sh′Allah
