Beyond The Temple by Def Leppard


Beyond the temple

There lies a tomb with a king from long ago

A traveler from a distant planet

Ten thousand years or so

The legend tells of an agin' man

Whose city he built alone

Till the pirates of our western world

Tore it down stone by stone

 

The clouds are gettin' heavy

As he points unto the sky

But with the guidance of his finger

He let the lightning fly

 

So don't turn around don't turn around

Lightning don't strike twice

Don't turn around don't turn around

Death is a very high price

 

He gathered up his people

And he took them underground

To the caves of silvery water

Where they never could be found

 

The king came to the surface

Could not believe what he had found

The temple left in ruins

His city knocked to the ground

 

He went back to his people

Sad news he had to tell

The only justice for the king

Was to put these men in hell

So don't turn around don't turn around

Lightning don't strike twice

Don't turn around don't turn around

Death is a very high price

 

His face showing sorrow

His heart full of grief

His life's work in ruins

Destroyed by a thief

 

His people just sit around

His children just cry

The king's mind is all confused

Just wonderin' why

 

The temple split in half

And scattered through the desert

The dust had risen in the air

The race of people had to

Live in devastation

Why wasn't he even there?

 

Message from the gods to

Gather up his people

The kingdom couldn't lose them there

That's when all the gods and

All are livin' peaceful

Just a galaxy away

 

The king rose up from underground

To light the darkened sky

Red lights green lights

Blue lights flashing

It seemed a mile high

 

As it lifted from the ground

And soared into the air

The king looked at what might have been

A world that needed care

 

A storm had risen quickly

Across the take of hope

Now there's no trace of the king

Just a memory carved in stone

 

So don't turn around don't turn around

Lightning don't strike twice

Don't turn around don't turn around

Death is a very high price

Don't turn around don't turn around

Lightning don't strike twice

Don't turn around don't turn around

Death is a very high price
