The Temple Of Ishtar

LOST HORIZONS, STRETCHING OUT
O’ WHAT THE NAKED EYE SEES
I CRAWL ALONE THROUGH THE DESOLATE WASTELAND
PASSING SHRINES THAT WERE BUILT LONG AGO
LOVE FORLORN AND OF LOVE LONG BEREAVED
THE CRIMSON SUN SETS LOW ABOVE THE FOREIGN SANDS
I TRAVEL ON MY QUEST, ONE DAY I’LL FIND THE GATES OF ISHTAR

SHIPS OF THE DESERT, PASSING BY IN THE NIGHT
CARAVANS FROM SOME FAR AWAY PLACE
FROM A PLACE DANGEROUS AND ENCHANTED, PLEASURE DOME OF FIRE AND ICE
LOVE AND WAR BOTH CONVERGE IN ONE SOVEREIGN FACE
AHEAD THE TIGRIS EBBS AND FLOWS THOUGH THE JOURNEY’S JUST BEGUN
THUS BEGINS THE JOURNEY, AS I STEP INTO THE TEMPLE OF ISHTAR

I’VE NEVER BEEN SO SCARED
THE SEAT OF PASSION AND DESPAIR
THE SEED OF ALL THAT’S IN THE WORLD
A PLACE AS ANCIENT AS THE SOUL
GOOD AND EVIL, FIRE AND ICE
A CHILD IS BORN, A LEGEND DIES
PLEASURE AND PAIN MAKE UP OUR LIVES
CRADLE TO THE GRAVE, FOR YOU WE STRIVE
AND I’VE NEVER BEEN SO SCARED

I’VE NEVER BEEN SO SCARED
THE SEAT OF PASSION AND DESPAIR
THE SEED OF ALL THAT’S IN THE WORLD
A PLACE AS ANCIENT AS THE SOUL
GOOD AND EVIL, FIRE AND ICE
A CHILD IS BORN, A LEGEND DIES
PLEASURE AND PAIN MAKE UP OUR LIVES
CRADLE TO THE GRAVE, FOR YOU WE STRIVE
AND I’VE NEVER BEEN SO SCARED
