Church - Further Adventures Of The Time Being lyrics

rate me

They built the pyramids, toiled with tons of stone<br />

Irrigated deserts, built giant golden thrones<br />

Built palaces in India and a dome on the moon<br />

Illustrated ceilings, praised God with strange choirs<br />

Fed the five thousand, built cities of spires <br />

Felt the pull of science unravel in their minds<br />

Charted celestial bodies and were punished for their finds<br />

Conquered snow-peaked mountains, drove jungles to retreat<br />

Were drowned in vicious rapids and were heralded for their feats <br />

<br />

Fantasized in Babylon, built a home in space<br />

Scaled the walls of China against all human odds<br />

Won battles without hope and saw men turned into gods<br />

<br />

<br />

Still they hide their faces well unbetrayed by Heaven or Hell<br />

Only traces to be found although their history resounds<br />

Disconnected they displayed all the discoveries they made<br />

And now they wander round the earth beyond the realms of death or birth<br />

If you look you'll see them there like clouds hanging in the air<br />

And they said the earth was flat, sailed off the world into a vat<br />

Turned the planets into toys then played marbles like small boys<br />

Invented love, invented hate, hung them off the arms of fate<br />

Hear them whisper hear them speak, seems they found what we still seek
