Scimitar - Ghostlimb

Black death

While they were crying

In their bibles ancient knowledge rested in Arabic

From Toledo east to the Caspian

6000 years stand as a testament

While the mystery of the hinterland

Draws our eyes from the typical

The east always wears a tarnished crown

In the court of the peripheral they laid

Straight border lines

This cuts the tie that binds

The crescent one more failure

A difference place and time
