in the temple of the kings


In the temple of the kings
The ardent followers sing and dance away
Waving flags of yellow dancing in tune of steps
The burning of incense fill the air
The smoke dust the sky
Nobody notices it
They are praying for the good fortunes
They wish for good health and living in peace

In the temple of the kings
The devotees will abstain from meat for the duration
It is time to be vegetarian to cleanse the body and soul
Every devotee takes it seriously
It isn't something to easily forget
When walking on the fire
The truth will be known easily

The sinners will pray for forgiveness
Many will donate materials and monies
To atone for their sins in the past year
They will pray hard everyday
The good deeds they will perform for charity
Until the celebrations are over
They will pile up their sins again
Greed, power, corruption,lust, women and men
They will ride into the dust
The camouflage of their misdeeds
For wealth is the thing

In the temple of the kings
The sound of drums and chanting
The dancing rituals will be performed
The devotees will pray
The good fortunes and sinners will escape
