| Once in a night | 
| I spent in Istanbul | 
| I had a dream of a forbidden world | 
| Where even angels | 
| Fear to look upon | 
| A place where all of love is doomed to die | 
| Her face appeared | 
| Through clouds of bitter wine | 
| Sour as the morning’s early hours | 
| She took my hair | 
| And she curled it around | 
| Her fingers | 
| I was but a fool for love | 
| The scent of Turkish oils | 
| Mixed with the harsh tobacco | 
| In the overcrowded bar | 
| Hashish | 
| And cool mint in her hair | 
| I was a fool for love | 
| I was a fool | 
| She sang to me | 
| A torch song softly laced | 
| With mysteries Arabian | 
| It poisoned my mind | 
| A sickness in my soul | 
| I tried | 
| I didn’t want to hear at all | 
| A curtain fell | 
| Before my eyes I did | 
| Succumb into her healing breast | 
| She sang that song | 
| I gave her all my soul | 
| And my all | 
| To the pleasures of the flesh | 
| I cried that night | 
| For those forsaken times | 
| Those times when I was | 
| Simply satisfied | 
| I turned to dust | 
| That night a thousand times | 
| That night a thousand times I died inside | 
| And through what’s left | 
| Of my sad life I hear | 
| Her singing in the fevers of the night | 
| Look into the mirror of my eyes | 
| And tell me what you see | 
| It’s not your love I need | 
| You’ll see | 
| Sorrow, tears and darkness | 
| These are the pleasures | 
| Beyond your dreams | 
| I found myself | 
| Down by the sea | 
| A hundred years ago | 
| When I was in my teens | 
| And years go by | 
| I turned into a man | 
| My childhood trapped within the sand | 
| I crawled through life | 
| On broken glass through hell | 
| It seems I wakened my desires | 
| And woke one day | 
| Wet with the sweat of fear | 
| Wet with the sweat of fear | 
| As now with you | 
| I’ll reveal your mother | 
| Come to me | 
| I’ll take you to the safety of the womb | 
| Tell me your secrets | 
| Sorrow tears and darkness | 
| Pour out your heart | 
| Sorrow tears and darkness | 
| You’ll be a fool | 
| A fool for love | 
| And hell had never seemed so good | 
| As when I lost my soul | 
| Became a fool for love | 
| Help me, please to find my way | 
| Look into the mirror of my eyes | 
| Your kiss has clouded up my mind | 
| And tell me what you see | 
| I was a fool, a fool for love | 
| It’s not your love I need | 
| I cried for those forsaken times | 
| You’ll see | 
| She took my soul in Istanbul | 
| Sorrow tears and darkness | 
| She left me on that night to die | 
| These are the pleasures beyond your dreams | 
| These are the pleasures beyond all my dreams | 
| I am lost | 
| Help me to find my way | 
| Here in a world where angels fear to gaze | 
| My love is doomed to die | 
| Alone tonight in Istanbul | 
| And I a fool | 
| For | 
| Love |
