What Elephant? - Temple of Time Lyrics

Have you been encased in amber?
No, you've been off fighting demons too.
I can tell just by the images conjured
The heights that were climbed within you.
And even our skin has disseminated
We're beings entirely new
Than the ones that joined in the courtyard
When the world was bright and troubles were few.
Princess was imbued with wisdom
It was her eternal birthright
But Hero of Time had to undo his mind
And learn notes that turned day into night.
And only through forest and fire and water
Could he gain the gift of sight
A lens of truth through the walls of youth
And a mirror reflecting light.
Maybe you've been in the Temple
Collecting gemstones out of the earth
And maybe each time the sword is drawn
We experience some form of rebirth.
But it's all just a story I've come to believe,
Though the way has seemed so long
Back to the one that gave me this flute
And taught me my very first song.
