Beyond the temple   There lies a tomb with a king from long ago   A traveler from a distant planet   Ten thousand years or so   The legend tells of an agin' man   Whose city he built alone   Till the pirates of our western world   Tore it down stone by stone     The clouds are gettin' heavy   As he points unto the sky   But with the guidance of his finger   He let the lightning fly     So don't turn around, don't turn around   Lightning don't strike twice   Don't turn around, don't turn around   Death is a very high price     He gathered up his people   And he took them underground   To the caves of silvery water   Where they never could be found     The king came to the surface   Could not believe what he had found   The temple left in ruins   His city knocked to the ground     He went back to his people   Sad news he had to tell   The only justice for the king   Was to put these men in hell     So don't turn around, don't turn around   Lightning don't strike twice   Don't turn around, don't turn around   Death is a very high price     His face showing sorrow   His heart full of grief   His life's work in ruins   Destroyed by a thief     His people just sit around   His children just cry   The king's mind is all confused   Just wonderin' why     The temple split in half   And scattered through the desert   The dust had risen in the air   The race of people had to live in devastation   Why wasn't he even there?     Message from the gods to gather up his people   The kingdom couldn't lose them there   That's when all the gods and all are livin' peaceful   Just a galaxy away     The king rose up from underground   To light the darkened sky   Red lights, green lights, blue lights flashing   It seemed a mile high     As it lifted from the ground   And soared into the air   The king looked at what might have been   A world that needed care     A storm had risen quickly   Across the take of hope   Now there's no trace of the king   Just a memory carved in stone     So don't turn around, don't turn around   Lightning don't strike twice   Don't turn around, don't turn around   Death is a very high price   Don't turn around, don't turn around   Lightning don't strike twice   Don't turn around, don't turn around   Death is a very high price
