SACRED PAGES Ancient writings burned and torn What did they say? What did the warn? That made emperors want to erase them from the eyes of all time? What were they afraid we’d say if we read those sacred pages today? Were the stories they told of heaven or hell? Or maybe of wars and plagues or a spell? What stories did they tell for the eyes of time to see that made them want to tear them from the pages of history? Chorus: Sacred pages and writings on the walls Left behind like some wake up call Torn by men who didn’t like what they saw On sacred pages and temple walls Didn’t like what they saw, didn’t like It at all Those stories of times to come when men will lose their power and fall! Rising up from sacred pages and writings on the walls Rising like the phoenix when the dead wake to the call That made emperors tear out what pages of time wanted to tell What were they afraid we’d say if we saw those sacred pages today? Chorus: Sacred pages and writings on the walls Left behind like some wake up call Torn by men who didn’t like what they saw On sacred pages and temple walls Didn’t like what they saw, didn’t like It at all Those stories of times to come when men will lose their power and fall! Were the pages they tore of heaven or hell? What were they afraid we’d say if we saw those sacred pages today? Chorus: Sacred pages and writings on the walls Left behind like some wake up call Torn by men who didn’t like what they saw On sacred pages and temple walls Didn’t like what they saw, didn’t like It at all Those stories of times to come when men will lose their power and fall! Didn’t like it at all…Didn’t like it at all…What they saw…. they didn’t like it at all. MJC 01/09/08 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED |
