Temple of the Sea

The pages turn themselves as if to speak to me

A vision not so civilized a sight no one has seen

A king who's fate is sealed by prophecy and pain

Modern man knows nothing, it's time I board my train

The wasteland that's before me leaves me cold inside

I long to reach the ocean and the secrets that it hides

The rivers have all dried up yet covered by the sea

The memories of children playing

And prayers that have been set free

The ancient temples washed away foundations of belief

No written word to tell the tale, another missing piece

As I touch, as I see, it's still a mystery

When I find what I seek

Who will we be?

It's all myth and memory, these temples of the sea

And still there's no answer

We search for the answers

Another night I walk alone, tormented by the thought

A world remains unknown to us, a land that time forgot

Our future could be in the past, and proof before our eyes

We cannot ignore the truth and cast it all aside

They're leaving the world they leave without warning

Standing together a new day is dawning

One giant puzzle with no explanation

Can someone tell me is it imagination

Only to find the secrets unfold

With nothing left but these fallen towers of stone

Fire falling from the sky, burning all I see

No place to run no place to hide

I hear a million screams

Now we say our goodbyes, only fear in our eyes

As we fall to our knees

Our world is claimed by the sea
