5. Sumerian Cry (Part III) (5:16)
Nailed to a pleasant sleep
Under the fullmoon light
Calculated ancient knowledge
Of Arab's wise words
I dreamed about a temple
I saw it in my dreams
A temple made of silver
With emeralds above
It is in the wood
Spoken by animal lips
My seal and my epitaph
It is the Sumerian Cry
I visited the temple
In my imaginations it welcomed my
I tried to understand the language
And the sumerian cuneiform
I read about their gods
And in my dreams they spoke to me
They showed me the tablets of fate
Which since a battle belong to them
It is in the wood
Spoken by animal lips
My seal and my epitaph
It is the Sumerian Cry
Then I saw the Ancient Ones
Slumbering in their cave
My dreams and my nightmares
The liers in wait bred my fear
I woke up from my dreams
The night had become day
Highly strung, rigid and struck
I peered through the morning fog
It is in the wood
Spoken by animal lips
My seal and my epitaph
It is the Sumerian Cry
Under the fullmoon light
Calculated ancient knowledge
Of Arab's wise words
I dreamed about a temple
I saw it in my dreams
A temple made of silver
With emeralds above
It is in the wood
Spoken by animal lips
My seal and my epitaph
It is the Sumerian Cry
I visited the temple
In my imaginations it welcomed my
I tried to understand the language
And the sumerian cuneiform
I read about their gods
And in my dreams they spoke to me
They showed me the tablets of fate
Which since a battle belong to them
It is in the wood
Spoken by animal lips
My seal and my epitaph
It is the Sumerian Cry
Then I saw the Ancient Ones
Slumbering in their cave
My dreams and my nightmares
The liers in wait bred my fear
I woke up from my dreams
The night had become day
Highly strung, rigid and struck
I peered through the morning fog
It is in the wood
Spoken by animal lips
My seal and my epitaph
It is the Sumerian Cry
