Tangier NightsThe Alchemist

[Verse 1] New world, foreign tongue, a maze of sights and sound Trusted a smiling stranger, now everything is drowned In this bitter sea of loss, my hope begins to fade Was it all a foolish dream? A cruel game I played? The air is thick with betrayal, a knife twisting slow Every shadow seems to mock, the seeds of doubt they sow. [Chorus] Tangier nights, they cut so deep, a blade of cold deceit Stole my gold, my innocence, left me shattered in the street Is this the omen I was warned? A test I cannot bear? Lost in this labyrinth, consumed by my despair. [Verse 2] Foolish, naive, I let my guard down, trusted in a lie Now I'm staring at the darkness, tears welling in my eye Where's the universe conspiring? Where's the helping hand? Just a cruel and empty market, in this unforgiving land. My dreams lie scattered on the ground, like broken shards of glass This journey's turned to ashes, will this feeling ever pass? [Chorus] Tangier nights, they cut so deep, a blade of cold deceit Stole my gold, my innocence, left me shattered in the street Is this the omen I was warned? A test I cannot bear? Lost in this labyrinth, consumed by my despair. [Bridge] Lost... Alone... Betrayed... Is there any hope remaining? Or am I forever swayed? Ya Allah, [Oh God], guide me through this night Show me a flicker of your light, restore my fading sight. [Outro] Despair... Darkness... Tangier...
