Slur Lyrics

Roman land

Of Roman sands

And Roman sons.

As I watch the sun

sink down

On the bloodred edge

Of the bloodred town

There are shadows

for sale

On the edge of town

At the edge of the night

Is a darkness seen

From the side

of the light

(From the side

of the night).

And the winds

blow round

this sleeping town

This sleeping town

This Roman land

Of Roman sands

And Roman sons.

And it seems to me

That when I

close my eyes

All the lights in the world

Go out

And the night

passes by

And you whisper to me

A thousand lies

I stare in surprise

Towards the desert's

warm black

And the desert stirs

And the desert stares

back

With a thousand eyes

Piercing eyes

Ancient eyes

And I ask my lover

"Do you know

Where the desert roses

bloom and grow?"
