Píseň: Magic Carpet Ride

Interpret:
Stratovarius
Album:
Dream Space
Let me take you to the far away places 
Where you've never been to the orient lands 
Soon you will notice the mountains and forests 
We're flying over them now 


Don't you be afraid, just take my hand 
as we race with four winds 
Welcome to the land of mystery 
Welcome to the land of secrets 
This is no ancient history 
We are flying through the gates of Babylon 


Allah is speaking us all with his mighty voice 
Bowing to his power as we go down 
This magic carpet ride is not a dream to us 
It's really happening
