Zotohla

from Blue Two by Red Ankh

/

lyrics

The old waste land was a magical place
Full of mystery
There's some thing lost to it now
that denizens know what to believe

Empires rose and empires toppled
Unbound by the gods
It's sad that knowledge tears down
The wonder that inspires us

Adventure was endless every
Oasis held its charm
The desert was always changing
Wandering men shouldn't be alarmed

A different sense that we don't have any more
Called them out to stride
Across endless waste land called Zohtola
In the language of the gods


Zotohla, what an adventure
Ruins to explore
And countless treasures to claim as yours
Destiny free from feudal lords

Zotohla, what an adventure
Ruins to explore
And countless treasures to claim as yours
Destiny free from feudal lords

Zotohla, what an adventure
Ruins to explore
And countless treasures to claim as yours
Destiny free from feudal lords

The old waste land was a calling to all
To begin their life
Those who played it safely had
No handle, no edge to their dull knife

Freedom was inborn in to all
Master needs no slaves
Greed was their only motive
That can't control how one behaved

The spoils of Zotohla were plenty
Novelties were abound
The burnt users' ignorance
Protected them from reasons then unfound

A different sense that we don't have any more
Called them out to stride
Across endless waste land called Zohtola
In the language of the gods


Before we took the last gods' place
Before Aufaust's apprenticeship
Before wanderers chose from sides
Before, before
Before Universe showed her self
Before Ruger was even born
Before the human side was found
Before, before

What we long for we don't need
Ancient Earth societies
History can be relived
All memories are pensive

There was an age when the only world of magic
was the burnt side of Earth
Every life was an adventure
And there was no conventional history to repeat
Innocense in the present moment
Lives were on the line
Purpose was made each time for the first time

Requiem for the old waste land

Before we took the last gods' place
Before Aufaust's apprenticeship
Before wanderers chose from sides
Before, before
Before Universe showed her self
Before Ruger was even born
Before the human side was found
Before, before


Zotohla, what an adventure
Ruins to explore
And countless treasures to claim as yours
Destiny free from feudal lords

Zotohla, what an adventure
Ruins to explore
And countless treasures to claim as yours
Destiny free from feudal lords
