Kingdom of the Sun Lyrics

Album: Iberia

Far across the plains

There stood a lonely citadel

That faced a coming change

And within its walls

A fire burned and turmoil churned

As the horns of judgement called

Born of the human mind

The empire lived a thousand years

With no end in sight

Yet without a sign

The riverbed that flowed so strong

Suddenly ran dry

The idols ever benign

The temple walls a sanctuary

Oh so divine

There's nothing to be done

In the kingdom of the sun

Then in the shrouded halls

The palace walls were ever plagued

With the mark of the coming fall

And as the sun did shine

The river's flow was replaced

By the falling sands of time

The idols lose their prime

The temple walls grow weaker still

Aren't they divine?

The end has begun

In the kingdom of the sun

Now beyond the rift

The kingdom of the sun doth fall

To the depths of the abyss

In this silent bliss

Its towering walls once stood alone

Above the swirling mist

Their idols lost to time

The temple walls come crashing down

Once divine

From what they came they have become

To dust it falls, the kingdom of the sun
