Shrine Of Wisdom

Follow me
Across this barren land
Show me
Devotion and trust
Put your life
In my hands
Allow me
To teach you all the dark secrets

Is this the place I was told
A shrine of forbidden knowledge?

As we pass through the gates
The fear deepens
You can see it now in their eyes

An act of evil that cannot be explained
Yet perfectly clear for those who can
Maintain the balance between faith and logic
That's all that prevails

Is this the place I was told
A shrine of forbidden knowledge?

As we pass through the gates
The fear deepens
You can see it now in their eyes
You can hear it through
Unspoken words
You can feel it in their souls

Was this an act of desperation
Or an attempt to withhold
The darkest secrets buried
Under these very walls
