lyrics

The commands of an ancient sultan
Whispers through the sandstorm winds of time
Calling across the centuries
A lost ghost city of the mind
Far beyond the valley of the kings
Lies buried deep within the sand
A city of decadence and lust and greed
That's why the gods condemned this land
The gods condemned this land

Furthest reaches recorded time
Lay Ubar, city of lust and greed
Reading the chiseled inscriptions
A funerary temple
Osiris's tributes to the gods
The sultan of Oltman

Denied the presence of this land
Decipher the hieroglyphics
City overcome with lust
Ancient brothel returns to dust
Angered by the plague of sin
Let the holocaust begin

Furthest reaches recorded time
Lay Ubar, city of lust and greed
Reading the chiseled inscriptions
A funerary temple
This was the city of Ubar
Watch our modern life return to ancient ways

Was the city of Ubar
Watch our modern life return to ancient ways

We're on the road to Ubar (x4)
