Lyrics to "Blues For Allah" song by Grateful Dead: Arabian wind, The needle's eye is thin, The ships of state sail on mirage, And drown in sand, Out i. .It will not grow a thing; Taste eternity the swords sing: Blues of Allah In 'sh'Allah. The thousand stories have come round to one again, Arabian night, Our Gods pursue their fight, What fatal flowers of darkness bloom from seeds of light

Blues for Allah contains quite a few surprises, some pleasant (Mickey Hart’s reappearance; most of side one) and some embarrassing (most of side two), but at least the Grateful Dead have begun to awaken from the artistic coma they’ve been in since 1971. With their self-owned and -operated record company fantasies biting the dust due to financially trying times and some decidedly uninteresting releases, the Dead have handed their distribution over to United Artists.

Blues for Allah es el octavo álbum de estudio de la banda de rock estadounidense Grateful Dead. Fue grabado entre febrero y mayo de 1975, y lanzado al mercado el primero de septiembre de 1975. El disco marcó el retorno del baterista Mickey Hart luego de cuatro años sin hacer parte de la banda
