Ballad of the Temples Within

Verse 1
Two great dragons fought above us,
dust was falling on the land,
people lived but never noticed,
how their hearts slipped from their hands.

Chorus
Our temples live within us,
their fire’s burning bright,
no winter storm, no shadow
can break them in the night.

Verse 2
Mages sang their songs of glory,
courtiers built their chains of gold,
traps were set in shining stories,
till the truth was bought and sold.

Chorus
Our temples live within us,
their fire’s burning bright,
no winter storm, no shadow
can break them in the night.

Verse 3
From the mist there came a traveler,
carrying light within his hands,
in our hearts he wove a tapestry,
temples free from walls and plans.

Chorus
Our temples live within us,
their fire’s burning bright,
no winter storm, no shadow
can break them in the night.

Verse 4
Dragons roared and fell in battle,
rose again to claim the sky,
but our fire we kept well-hidden
in the temples that won’t die.

Chorus
Our temples live within us,
their fire’s burning bright,
no winter storm, no shadow
can break them in the night.
