Lyrics
They came like beasts who'd tasted blood
First a few and then the flood
Coursing over hill and dale
Wet paw prints on their bloody trail
Return the peace you took from me
Give me back my community
Show us the good will you were shown
But leave us alone
And restore
The temple
Of Isis
At Memphis
Yeah, restore
The temple
Of Isis
At Memphis
Their hunger like a worm inside them
No sacred place could be denied them
They who talk all day of beauty
Call all the plain things dirty
Melted holes in celluloid
Give me back what you've destroyed
You who come demanding proof
Let your God rebuild this roof
And restore
The temple
Of Isis
At Memphis
Yeah, restore
The temple
Of Isis
At Memphis
Make it whole again if you can
Stand in the smoke and say some prayers
Wave your hand
And restore
The temple
Of Isis
At Memphis
Restore
The temple
Of Isis
At Memphis
