Lyrics
Stone walls hum with a thousand years
Spice smoke curls through narrow lanes
A bass line older than the city
Vibrates beneath the sandstone floor
Marrakech calling the continent opens its door
Marrakech calling the continent opens its door
Opens its door
Opens its door
Mint glass clinks against the copper tray
The muezzin fades behind the wall
My blood moves to the guembri pulse
I follow where the low notes crawl
The old city breathes in frequencies
That turn your skeleton into a tuning fork
Marrakech calling the continent opens its door
Marrakech calling the continent opens its door
Opens its door
Opens its door
Lantern shadows paint the arches gold
A cat moves silent on the ledge
The alley turns and turns again
Until direction has no edge
I press my palm against the wall
The stone is warm from centuries
The guembri finds the vein inside
And now the continent runs through me
