Legend of Lemuria
Many have heard of a lost continent in the Atlantic
But there are some who believe there was one in the Pacific
Grab hold of time’s clock and switch it back 85 thousand years
Peer through history’s mist, legendary Lemuria appears
Their ancestry is thought to be Asian or Polynesian
Did this evolved culture build the stone heads on Easter Island
If they existed and how they vanished, we can't know for sure
For any artifacts are now lying on the ocean floor
Hostile natives of Atlantis have been blamed for their demise
It’s said religious Lemurians were attacked by surprise
A lesson can be learned, however, as history repeats
Many peaceful cultures have succumbed to militants’ defeats
Those who have spiritual inclinations don’t make weapons
And the death toll continues to rise well into the millions
Men who seek power are always seeking to control our Earth
But on Judgment Day our Lord will decide who has the most worth
