1. The winds of time from Layla's people swept away
The salt flats, then the floods, then the sweat

2. And the spears, and the twisting paths from her folk lay barren
And a Ubayli to the wasteland, the shelter, the cave, the boulder

3. So the world exhausted him, and hardship, and the desert, and the vulture
A desolation that the eyes graze, the darkness, the dust
