Bold am I To make such a claim That the lords of this world Weren't the first to reign Dishonor the almighty ape For the sake Of a shadow of truth I cannot disdain Though I long to go and see What lies beyond Those barren mountains Hiding on that shore I refrain My heretic mind With this uneasy crime Breeds the bane of all Sacred recorded time What weight can a scroll Keep at bay for a doubter Who frightens away From a dawning light? Never knowing why or What lies beyond Those barren mountains Hiding on that shore The decline of a proud society Secretly awaits in the forbidden zone Don't be afraid Though you may not like what you see It is your destiny And now behold this man from the sky With his eyes shining bright Speaking words in our tongue Reading words we write If he holds the key To the truth I seek Do I condemn our beliefs Or just let it be? Is it worth the price to know What lies beyond Those barren mountains Hiding on that shore The decline of our society The knowledge I must know Tell my what lies beyond Those barren mountains Hiding on that shore The decline of our society The truth will be revealed In the forbidden zone! Wow!
