Temple In The Sky

He climbed up the mountain To a temple in the sky And he saw the world down below The streets were filled With the singing of people And the rivers and the forests were peaceful The temple was golden With a golden lion in front And a sign hanging clear round its neck It said, "don't bother coming You won't find what you're looking for" But the man said, "I need to see for myself" Inside the temple The stained glasses was shattered And no one was around to be questioned The wallpaper was torn And the scrolls were ripped The idols were smashed And the paintings defamed Blood from the ceiling Dropped down to the floor In coincidence spelling, God Never Was He rushed to the balcony To see the world down below The rivers, the forests, and the people But the people weren't singing They were crying out in pain And nature wasn't peaceful, it was dead A choice he now faced To return to the world Or remain inside the battered temple Not that it mattered He knew in his heart Anyway the ending is near Away in the sky A rainbow shone sweetly And the ocean split right now the middle Covenants were made And promises were broken The land was destroyed And a nightmare awoken The a light from above came To bless the whole planet Only no one was alive to see this miracle
