Questions Asked

Where are the sleeping giants that never awoke
Where are the dragons that long ago spoked
Were unicorns is common is pretty rainbows
Were Martians living on Mars in droves

Is the Garden of Eden a real earthly place
Is the face of Zeus the one Jesus replaced
Will El Dorado gleam in the rays of sun
Will Shangri-La open her gates to anyone

Are monsters just demons in masquerade
Are angels ever given a paid holiday
Does Atlantis exist within layers of myth
Does Sasquatch know if any Yetis are left

Did a monkey leave his tree to become man
Did a tree in a garden tempt man to be damned
Why do we dream of falling falling down
Why do we curse the earth we are bound

Where are the gods the Greeks used to know
Where are the gods of Egypt and her pharaohs
Why do we speak a million different tongues
Why do we not have the same color for everyone

Was the future the past we've already repeated
Was salvation on a screen we accidently deleted.
