In another time, another place,
with another name, another face
Golden skies, emerald streams,
Land of the Sorceress Queen
When musical magic fills the air,
sleeping quills wake inspiration
A raven’s feather, draws and traces,
fallen angels with Tarot card faces
Camel tracks to Constantinople,
when time was told in sand
Wisemen smoke and pray
to the opium of Old Cathay
Smoking cauldrons, spells, potions,
heat waves, twisting mirage cities
Caravans pass over foreign lands,
worlds collide under shifting sands
She forever watches, never speaks,
spinning moons on her fingertips
Her breath the wind,
her tears the salty sea
Her hand, the hand of God
Abraham plays at her feet,
Satan feeds from her breast
Blessing the cursed
Cursing the blessed
Land of the Sorceress Queen
