lyrics

Foreman!
They must work until they bleed
The ache of flesh and bone
Is no excuse for them to sleep

Do they not see the glory of the toil and struggle they endure
In the name of building a new place for our worship?

The temple shall face the sea of stars
Its beacon shall be the moon in the darkest of nights
You must embrace the shadows

In a lonely trance
Came my vision
I trust the way of the ones
Now build me a temple

I need your strongest people
This creation is a marvel to behold
Our pantheon awakens to a
new life and we cannot disappoint them
Keep the people coming

I guarantee there is no limit
To the bodies I will employ to
Keep the slaves coming

Flesh sacks of untold strength
Slaving away to create the 8th wonder of the world
Disposable husks of labor in a story yet to be told

I spill shadows on the pages
Transformed into a vessel of The Ones
Thy will be done
Thy will be done

Build me a temple
Build me a shrine

Build me a temple
Build me a shrine to the gods
Don’t fear the shadows
They still come from our sun

Now get to work!
Build me a temple
Build me a shrine
Don’t fear the shadows
They still come from our sun
