Further Adventures Of The Time Being Lyrics - Church

They built the pyramids, toiled with tons of stone 

Irrigated deserts, made giant golden thrones 

Built palaces in India and a dome on the moon 

Illustrated ceilings, praised God with strange choirs 

Fed the five thousand, built cities of spires 

Felt the pull of science unravel in their minds 

Charted celestial bodies and were punished for their finds 

Conquered snow-peaked mountains, drove jungles to retreat 

Were drowned in vicious rapids and were heralded for their feats

Fantasized in Babylon, built a home in space 

Scaled the walls of China against all human odds 

Won battles without hope and saw men turned into Gods 

Still they hide their faces well unbetrayed by Heaven or hell 

Only traces to be found although their history resounds 

Disconnected they displayed all the discoveries they made 

Photos 

And now they wander 'round the earth beyond the realms of death or birth 

If you look, you'll see them there like clouds hangin' in the air 

And they said the earth was flat, sailed off the world into a vat 

Turned the planets into toys then played marbles like small boys 

Invented love, invented hate, hung them off the arms of fate 

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