SEVENTH WONDER LYRICS
"Temple in the Storm" (2003 Demo)
1. Temple in the Storm
2. The Secret
3. Like Him
4. In the Blink of an Eye
1. Temple in the Storm
Your waiting is over for now
The damage is done
The will to resist You has gone
Enter nightfall
The moon watches over the world
Blind to the eye
That's still looking over what's mine
In the twilight
Walking through the door
The light so cold
It strikes my back and chills this
Blood that sees me through
Until I sleep, with You behind my eyes
I'll be there
I'll be Your own
I'll be Your temple in the storm
With every word and every day
In a world of many
The streetlight is calling my name
The game has begun
You stand in its spotlight so run
I'm behind You
You smile at the world as I hide
With tears in my eyes
By now You must know my surprise
Is inside You
Nothing feels the same
I feel the shame for what I've done to You
I'll be there
I'll be Your own
I'll be Your temple in the storm
With every word and every day
In a world of many cares
2. The Secret
How I want to tell You
Of man and god
Still we pray and send him up
A fallen lie
I find I'm looking back to
Days gone by
To a time before every day
Was night
You cannot live forever
My time is now
The gold You seek to gather
Is mine to own
The secret
Still living
Has fallen into foreign hands
Deciding every day You live
And so humanity will fall
Before our eyes
Too sundered to remember
The ancient rites
Oh, have I lived to see
The end of time
The prayer that dies with my last breath
Is only mine
You cannot live forever
My time is now
Although You stay together
You die alone
Chorus
Still breathing
Still seething
The mournful eye upon Your face
Follow me to Your dying day
3. Like Him
Born into this world one day
The heir to a tyrant's reign of pain
Indoctrinate
To rule with hate
For the son to feel pride
By his father's side
Forcefed views
Mental abuse
What goodness creates
He devastates
From the pits of darkness rises a light astray
Filling the void that terror employed
Change came to the boy on a street
A girl dressed in rags taught him to see
There is no escape
No passing of judgment
Your people are dying and so am I
She drew her final breath
And died in his arms and
He shouts out to the sky
I won't be like him
Chorus
Under blood red skies a flicker of hope and love
An echoing song to right all the wrong
I won't be like him
4. In the Blink of an Eye
When silence
It falls before my eyes
No light
In darkest night
My mind it
Dreams of those who fall asleep
This life
This quiet plight
You can hear me cry
Can I stand to ask You why
You have cast me into night
Neverending distant light
So I surrender to You my life
Lost in the blink of an eye
I have lived a million times
Cried, tried to awake every night
Daydreamers
Send me into the sky
On wings
Of hope and love
Night screamers
Oh, I look into the rain
And stare
At fires above
Tame my pain, let them fray my eyes
Chorus
