Temple at the End of the World (White Pillars, Pt. III) - Ravensire

Night was coming to its end

As our prow ploughed the sea

On to the end of the Earth

We sailed untamed and free

Millennia ago

Before the night has died

I’d walk down to the stone

And see the temple rising high

Temple of the Sun

At the end of the Earth

The cycle never ends

Of life, death and rebirth

Wild waves would whip the wharf

And dark and jagged tusks

I longed to stay and watch the sky

For a thousand dawns and dusks

White altars shining bright

Under celestial light

The priests would charge the price

Victims for the sacrifice

Temple of the Moon

At the end of the Earth

May we travel safe

When our vessel leaves its berth

Far away we shall sail

For the glory of Rome

May the gods give us strength

And take us safely home

Millennia ago

Before the night has died

I’d walk down to the stone

And see the temple rising high

Temple of the Sea

At the end of the Earth

By the Ocean that defies

Our courage and our worth

Temple of the gods

Now lost under the sand

I’ll see your pillars still

For the end is not the end
