Lyrics

Romanized transcription pending
There once lived a magician who lost his lover to death

What he sought was forbidden secrets that allowed him to revive the dead
All while knowing that only disaster awaits those who have stepped into its territory
Why do people seek the spirit’s power beyond human measurements...?

The violent winds sweep up a sandstorm
Hindering the young journeyman
His traveling companion was one camel
Riding across the sand dunes, he headed towards the city...

“Don’t you want the magic lamp?”
A suspicious man with a beard whispered
A trade made in the gloomy and dark alleyways
He accepted the man’s conditions...

It was said that the spirit would appear to those who wiped the lamp and grant them three wishes
On the condition that he saved one wish for the man, he was told of its whereabouts
The lamp was sealed in a southwestern cavern
He lowered himself into the hole, in place of the man who claimed to have a bad leg...

Beneath the desert was a huge cave
The cold air sent shivers down his spine
In the depths of the cavern was a strange altar
A golden lamp and an old carpet
The moment he touched the lamp, the cavern began to crumble
“Hurry and give me the lamp!” The man shouted...

Have you forgotten anything?

Within the gloomy darkness, he hears a nostalgic voice
A warm light, he hears a lovely voice

“You mustn’t come here right now
You still have things left to do, don’t you?”

Within the gloomy darkness, the nostalgic voice speaks
A warm light, the lovely voice speaks

“Instead of desiring for things lost
Why don’t you turn your eyes to what’s in front of you now?”

When he wakes up to sweeping sand, he found himself cradled on sand dunes
A beautiful girl with black hair smiled while crying

“An ancient rondo of sin and punishment left me shut into the lamp.
My master, you have released a fool like me.
Allow me to grant your wishes.”

Once three wishes were granted, the girl would be swept beneath the cold sand again
Doomed to tremble with thousands of loneliness...

And he made his wish...

The violent winds sweep up a sandstorm
Hindering the young journeyman
His traveling companions were two camels
And one girl with long black hair...
