A starless night
Older than death
The sand dunes of life
Hold their breath
My eyes are closed
Dreaming for you
The holy wars
Time will subdue
Hot desert winds
Never cease
Forgive their sins
Sword of the East
Your swords of steel
Have turned to guns
Your desert steed
Has been outrun
And now you hide
Under the night
To wait for dawn
To continue the fight
Hot desert winds
Never cease
Forgive their sins
Sword of the East
Hot desert winds
Never cease
Forgive their sins
Sword of the East
Gather up the fallen!
The children you bear
Are born into war
Their eyes of despair
Your generals ignore
So now you dream
Of mysterious lands
Warm blood of the past
Still flows in the sand
Hot desert winds
Never cease
Forgive their sins
Sword of the East

Hawkwind è un gruppo musicale britannico considerato uno dei pionieri del genere space-rock. Attivo dal 1969, il gruppo è noto per la sua musica psichedelica e sperimentale, spesso caratterizzata da temi di fantascienza, dystopie e viaggi intergalattici. Il loro brano più famoso è «Silver Machine», pubblicato nel 1972. Hawkwind ha collaborato con diversi scrittori di fantascienza, tra cui Michael Moorcock, e si è sempre distinto per la sua originalità e il suo rifiuto delle convenzioni musicali. Tra le altre canzoni rappresentative ricordiamo «Motorhead», «Kings of Space» e «Psi-Power». Il gruppo ha anche partecipato a eventi speciali come i concerti notturni durante il solstizio di Stonehenge, dimostrando la sua dedizione al misticismo e alla spiritualità.
