13 - Warm Than the Sun

Lyrics: [Intro – instrumental] ah… aaah… aaah… uuh… yalla… ah… yalla… hmm… aaah… wind over sand… ooh… [Verse 1] In desert lands where burning silence lies, the golden sun dissolves both ground and skies. ah… aaah… uuh… hmm… yalla… The dunes keep moving like a breathless sea, they shape my steps, they test what I can be. aaah… ooh… The heat is heavy, pressing on my name, it melts the doubt, it feeds the inner flame. yalla… ah… hmm… aaah… Yet in that fire where all strength seems gone, I learn to stand when everything moves on. uuh… aaah… [Pre-Chorus – vocal trance] ah… aaah… uuh… hmm… fire inside… fire outside… yalla… yalla… ah… ooh… aaah… [Chorus] I must be warmer than the burning sky, stronger than the sun that won’t pass by. ah… aaah… uuh… yalla… ah… yalla habibi… The desert breaks the ones who fight alone, but I turn heat into a second bone. hmm… aaah… ooh… I am the flame that does not fade or fall, I rise above the fire that tries to call. yalla… aaah… hmm… uuh… I am the fire stronger than the heat, I walk through everything that tries to defeat. ah… ooh… [Instrumental] ... ... ... [Interlude – instrumental] (darbuka più veloce, oud ritmico, flauto arabico con ornamentazioni celtiche) ah… aaah… aaah… yalla… yalla habibi… hmm… uuh… ooh… sand turning into sound… [Verse 2] The palms are bending under weight of light, but still they grow into the endless height. ah… aaah… uuh… hmm… yalla… An oasis flickers like a distant dream, yet in my chest it still becomes a stream. aaah… ooh… The camels walk through time without a fear, they know the path is never truly clear. yalla… ah… hmm… aaah… And every burn the desert gives my skin, becomes the way I learn what lies within. uuh… ooh… [Pre-Chorus – softer ritual] ah… aaah… uuh… hmm… fire breath… sand breath… yalla… ah… ooh… aaah… [Chorus] I must be warmer than the burning sky, stronger than the sun that won’t pass by. ah… aaah… uuh… yalla… ah… yalla habibi… The desert breaks the ones who fight alone, but I turn heat into a second bone. hmm… aaah… ooh… I am the flame that does not fade or fall, I rise above the fire that tries to call. yalla… aaah… hmm… uuh… I am the fire stronger than the heat, I walk through everything that tries to defeat. ah… ooh… [Instrumental] ... ... ... [Instrumental] ... ... ... [Bridge – phoenix section] ah… aaah… uuh… hmm… yalla… From ashes drifting under desert flame, a phoenix rises calling out my name. aaah… ooh… yalla… Through nights of Orient wrapped in endless sand, no burning wind can make my spirit bend, for I become the fire without end. ah… aaah… uuh… [Final Chorus – expanded ritual] I must be warmer than the burning sky, stronger than the sun that won’t pass by. ah… aaah… uuh… yalla… ah… yalla habibi… The desert breaks the ones who fight alone, but I turn heat into a second bone. hmm… aaah… ooh… I am the flame that does not fade or fall, I rise above the fire that tries to call. yalla… aaah… hmm… uuh… I am the fire stronger than the heat, I walk through everything that tries to defeat. ah… ooh… [Outro – instrumental] (oud + celtic harp fusion, wind dissolving into silence) ah… aaah… uuh… hmm… yalla… ooh… aaah… fire becomes dust… dust becomes wind… [Instrumental] ... ... ...
