And the heat disapear and the mirror fades away

Lyric:
Slowly fading blue
The eastern hollows catch
The dying sun
Night-time follows
Silence and black
Mirror pool mirrors
The lonely place
Where I meet you
 
See your head
In the fading light
And through the dark
Your eyes shine bright
 
And burn
Like fire
Burn like fire in Cairo
Burn like fire
Burn like fire in Cairo
 
Shifting crimson veil
Silken hips slide
Under my hand
Swollen lips whisper
My name
And I yearn
You take me in your arms
And start to burn
 
FIREINCAIRO
FIREINCAIRO
FIREINCAIRO
Then the heat disappears
And the mirage
Fades away
 
FIREINCAIRO
FIREINCAIRO
FIREINCAIRO
FIREINCAIRO
FIREINCAIRO
FIREINCAIRO
FIREINCAIRO
FIREINCAIRO
 
Burn like a fire in Cairo
Burn like a
Fire
Blaze like a fire in Cairo
Blaze like a
Fire
Flare
Burn like fire
Burn like
Fire in Cairo

WBH.
The chords in the verse is Bbm G# C# G# F#. So you replace the Bbm in the middle against a C#. The rest is accurate. Nice work! :)
