Metal Church

Temple of the Sea

Metal Church


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
