Red Sands Over Manama

في شوارع المنامة (in the streets of Manama), I walk alone, Neon lights cut through skin and bone Dust on my boots, والهوى حار (the air is hot), I follow echoes that drift too far They said “slow down” — لكني لا أسمع (but I don’t listen), I chase the sound of something distant Sky above us يحترق ببطء (burning slow), And I don’t care where I should go يا ليل خذني بعيد (oh night, take me far), I lose myself where the wild hearts are We are fire in a fragile sky, نحترق (we burn) and we don’t ask why Manama lights like broken glass, We live too fast, we love too fast يا قلبي لا تخاف (my heart, don’t fear), I scream but nobody hears Under desert rain and fading sound, I fall but I never touch the ground في المقاهي القديمة (in the old cafés), smoke and light, I hear your name inside the night Soft voices floating in the summer heat, Every memory tastes bittersweet كل شي ممكن (everything is possible), they say, But nothing ever feels that way Still I move through streets unknown, Trying to make this city home No control, only desert motion, We drift like waves in a silent ocean We are fire in a fragile sky, نحترق but we still try Manama lights like broken glass, We live too fast, we love too fast يا قلبي لا تخاف, I carry scars I never asked Under desert rain and fading sound, I lose myself but I’m still found اسمعني… (listen to me…) I fade tonight, Between the dark and neon light يا ليل don’t let me disappear, I was lost but now I’m here (guitars rise, full indie rock explosion) We are fire in a fragile sky, نحترق but we learn to fly Manama lights like broken glass, We live too fast, we love too fast يا قلبي لا تخاف, We’re echoes that refuse to end Under desert rain and broken sound, I find myself again
