On a long day under the burning sun
A guarded caravan is riding from Avdat
It carries various expensive goods for sale
But they don’t know that death awaits them
A lot of hot days spent in the sands
Terrible fatigue poisoning the lads
A stop would help a lot right now
But the oasis appears before their eyes
Look there!
Let’s go!
No one knows that their end is coming
The caravan flees!
Arab soldiers pray to their gods, but there is
Only one - Al-Kaum!
Mist of arrows, shouts of fighters, сlash of swords
Paint sand in red!
Horror and fear, hate and rage, death and blood
Sands will be glad!
Merchants and guards had a short rest - what a surprise
Romans attack from all the sides - No one survives
The defense is weak and there is no strength to fight
The angel of death takes the souls of his tortured slaves
Mothers
won’t meet their sons
Wives
won’t meet their men
Legends
won’t be told
The еcho of time will pass and settle everything
Only sands know!
Only sands know!
Holy Allah, save their souls
