Dark Land of Light Andalucia, land of lucid light Painters dream you See in your rugged scapes Al-Andaluz's moonwashed cities rising from the plains guarded by keyhole studded fierce yellow walls Bastions of that glorious heathen past Dali's bonebleached deserts Picasso's motherland. In the hot velvet night when sleep is hounded by heat thick enough to cut your bittersweet song drifts from the hill like perfume on the breeze Echoes of Moorish yesteryears float in flamencos' mournful wails Mingle the mullah's call to prayer with the sound of tragedy and love Dark gypsies staccato heels chase rhythms of steel guitars Brave bulls fight lusty men whose flaming capes mock and madden Till -- on their knees -- they take the final cut. Bloodroses weep in the dust Your duende seduces Lovers of death Drawn to your bloody history riddled with bullets of freedom Cold priests extortions Inquisitors pitiless tools Yet still you survive The pains of broken brotherhood soothed by the scent of Or Kathleen Roberts
