Empty Temples Lyrics - High Country - The Sword

before the clocks started counting 

we built shrines to the sun 

conducted rites by the moonlight 

now remembered by none 

aswe move through the future 

we are warmed by the past 

like a fire on a cold, dark night 

but dawn's here at last 

let go of all that binds you 

your kind will always find you 

we must give up the old ways 

though they've served us well 

the rituals havelost meaning 

what were temples are shells 

but there is a new path 

that always has been 

as we set foot upon it 

let us fear not the end 

let go of all that binds you 

your kind will always find you 

an endless series of meaningless tasks 

each one distracting us all from the last 

look all around at the things you've been given 

what do you see? 

beauty and splendor, destruction and ruin 

all in your memory 

let go of all that binds you 

your kind will always find you
