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
