In search of secret places Our silver arrow flies In search of silent traces Crashing from the sky And the desert receives us Like enemies, like friends The desert takes us gently Into her burning hands The earth is like an anvil The hammer of the sun falls down A flaming glow in front of the eyes Like a golden, thorny crown And the desert receives us Like enemies, like friends The desert takes us gently Into her torturing hands Then in the distance haunts a shadow A flickering shadow pa**es by And with the last breath from our souls We fill the air with a desperate cry The man slightly turning A look creating hope His liquid gift of nature Releases our rope And the desert esteems us Like enemies, like friends And the desert leaves us gently From her golden hands
