Blues for Allah - 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 sings 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

Bird of paradise

Fly

In white sky

Under eternity

Blues

For Allah

In’sh’Allah
