Saracen was a generic term for Muslims widely used among Christian writers in Europe during the later medieval era. The term's meaning evolved during its history. In the early centuries CE, Greek and Latin writings used this term to refer to the people who lived in desert areas in and near the Roman province of Arabia. They were distinguished as a people from others known as Arabs. In Europe during the Early Medieval era, the term came to be associated with Arab tribes as well. By the 12th century, "Saracen" had become synonymous with "Muslim" in Medieval Latin literature. Such expansion in the meaning of the term had begun centuries earlier among the Byzantine Romans, as evidenced in documents from the 8th century. In the Western languages before the 16th century, "Saracen" was commonly used to refer to Muslim Arabs, and the words "Muslim" and "Islam" were generally not used (with a few isolated exceptions).
Ptolemy's Geography (2nd century CE) describes "Sarakene" as a region in the northern Sinai peninsula. Ptolemy also mentions a people called the "Sarakenoi" living in north-western Arabia (near neighbor to the Sinai).Eusebius of Caesarea refers to Saracens in his Ecclesiastical history, in which he narrates an account wherein Dionysius, Bishop of Alexandria, mentions Saracens in a letter while describing the persecution of Christians by the Roman emperor Decius: "Many were, in the Arabian mountain, enslaved by the barbarous 'sarkenoi'." The Historia Augusta also refers to an attack by "Saraceni" on Pescennius Niger's army in Egypt in 193, but provides little information as to identifying them.

Two Steps From Hell - Ride With The Saracen
I'm twenty-one, barely twenty-two
And why do I feel like I've paid all my dues?
I've never tried heroin, I've never done time
So why do I feel like I've committed the crimes?
And he got me drunk
And laid me down
He treated me like a servant
Me into the ground
And now I'm scared straight
Can't a procreate
I just can say I never
Should have shaved
Hey, don't say "Everything's fine"
When your life is like a clear blue glass of water
Hey, don't say that everyone's kind
When you say you love her and then you're a goner
So now I'm fine
Thank God, for your time
I can lay in my bed
And waste a different part of my mind
I made a promise
I looked up to the sky
And repeated positivity's
To all mankind
So now I'm straight
I can procreate
But I just can't say
I never got laid
Hey, don't say "Everything's fine"
When your life is like a clear blue glass of water
Hey, don't say that everyone's kind
When you say you love her and then you're a goner
Hey, don't say "Everything's fine"
When your life is like a clear blue glass of water
Hey, don't say that everyone's kind
When you say you love her and then you're a goner
And these are the days I'd like to forget
I go out every night and regret
Everything and everyone I've done
Hey, don't say "Everything's fine"
When your life is like a clear blue glass of water
Hey, don't say that everyone's kind
When you say you love her and then you're a goner
Hey, don't say "Everything's fine"
When your life is like a clear blue glass of water
Hey, don't say that everyone's kind
When you say you love her and then you're a goner
Hey, don't say "Everything's fine"
When your life is like a clear blue glass of water
Hey, don't say that everyone's kind
When you say you love her and then you're a goner
