Nile - Mecca

2nd song from the legendary Nile demo 1994
LYRICS: Oasis, dark sanctuary. Night is born, heavy with passion. Shaman dance by the light of the Moon. Open your eyes to the song of the universe. Slowly we drag ourselves out of the primal slime. Slowly we arise to become mankind. Irrepressable we journey to Mecca. The heavens, the gods are all within you. Listen as the voice of reason speaks. The ranting and raving will tear the world apart. Ancient, alive, seething with power. Enigma of a single human heart. Monumental, neolithic. Bare your soul and enter Mecca. (Guitar solo) Come, arise from the primordial mud. Cloak thy nakedness. In the endless stuggle of the ages, give your spirit wings and fly. Fly. Fly. Fly. Come and fly. Worship.

@Reverie931 Sadly no :(

this is actually a Demo from 1994 and you can only get it by downloading it.Search Google and you'll find it ;)

I wish they would re-record these songs would be pretty awesome.

@Hitchhikeroftheyear Mostly yes, but they do sing about other middle eastern things. Hittite Dung Incantation is about the Hittites who lived near Turkey or Israel I think.

@Hitchhikeroftheyear Making a song about Mecca doesn't make anyone a Muslim. Nile is not a religious band in any way, they sing about history and mythology.

Nile has made songs about Egypt and Egyptians, pharaohs, mummies, tombs, war and war gods, Assyrians, the ancient city of Ur, the ancient Babylon and the Gates of Ishtar, the Kafiristani people from Afganistan, the Jezd desert ghul ritual (Iran), hindu religion...all things from between the rivers of Nile and Ganges...

@Hitchhikeroftheyear Mecca was an important place in ancient Arabia, it was a commercial city and many pagan gods where worshipped there. Many egyptians traveled there to.
