Beyond the temple
|
There lies a tomb with a king from long ago
|
A traveler from a distant planet
|
Ten thousand years or so
|
The legend tells of an agin' man
|
Whose city he built alone
|
Till the pirates of our western world
|
Tore it down stone by stone
|
|
The clouds are gettin' heavy
|
As he points unto the sky
|
But with the guidance of his finger
|
He let the lightning fly
|
|
So don't turn around, don't turn around
|
Lightning don't strike twice
|
Don't turn around, don't turn around
|
Death is a very high price
|
|
He gathered up his people
|
And he took them underground
|
To the caves of silvery water
|
Where they never could be found
|
|
The king came to the surface
|
Could not believe what he had found
|
The temple left in ruins
|
His city knocked to the ground
|
|
He went back to his people
|
Sad news he had to tell
|
The only justice for the king
|
Was to put these men in hell
|
|
So don't turn around, don't turn around
|
Lightning don't strike twice
|
Don't turn around, don't turn around
|
Death is a very high price
|
|
His face showing sorrow
|
His heart full of grief
|
His life's work in ruins
|
Destroyed by a thief
|
|
His people just sit around
|
His children just cry
|
The king's mind is all confused
|
Just wonderin' why
|
|
The temple split in half
|
And scattered through the desert
|
The dust had risen in the air
|
The race of people had to live in devastation
|
Why wasn't he even there?
|
|
Message from the gods to gather up his people
|
The kingdom couldn't lose them there
|
That's when all the gods and all are livin' peaceful
|
Just a galaxy away
|
|
The king rose up from underground
|
To light the darkened sky
|
Red lights, green lights, blue lights flashing
|
It seemed a mile high
|
|
As it lifted from the ground
|
And soared into the air
|
The king looked at what might have been
|
A world that needed care
|
|
A storm had risen quickly
|
Across the take of hope
|
Now there's no trace of the king
|
Just a memory carved in stone
|
|
So don't turn around, don't turn around
|
Lightning don't strike twice
|
Don't turn around, don't turn around
|
Death is a very high price
|
Don't turn around, don't turn around
|
Lightning don't strike twice
|
Don't turn around, don't turn around
|
Death is a very high price
|
