lyrics

They are the ones who say to seek the light
But they live in a shadow that brings doubt into my mind
If you search in the black for the darkest of truths
What will your searching find?

People around bow down before a rock
And they worship the sea on which the Megalith now lies
Though It may be a myth or a truth set adrift
It clears the stormy skies

They are the people
The ones down on Earth
They dedicate their lives
From death until birth

It is their leader
Their god and their soul
They lacked their own purpose
So It took that role

Here come the men who strive to save your soul
And to leave your old body for a new one in the sky
When you give It your heart through your faith and your trust
It's given back up high

They have a plan to be among the stars
If they do what they think the Megalith commands of them
They will seek out the root of their unhappiness
And cut it from the stem

They are the people
The ones down on Earth
They dedicate their lives
From death until birth

It is their leader
Their god and their soul
They lacked their own purpose
So It took that role
