Temples Of Gold Lyrics
I see you when it snows
in crystals dancing down
from a sultry sky
when silence is pure and unbreakable
I can see you smiling
in every frozen fear
I can hear you whisper "you and I"
Little did we know
that they were life itself
the days passing by
we both had our share in the sacrifice
once upon a time
we had something beautiful
once upon a time
I thought "you and I"
Take me wherever
the answer lingers in the sand
show me the way as the story unfolds
love is remote
in this wailing winter wonderland
show me the way to the temples of gold
bless me with a kiss
across the universe
when day and night converge
and whisper my name till I fall asleep
tell me tales from days bygone
tell me little lies
tell me once again it's just "you and I"
in crystals dancing down
from a sultry sky
when silence is pure and unbreakable
in every frozen fear
I can hear you whisper "you and I"
that they were life itself
we both had our share in the sacrifice
we had something beautiful
once upon a time
I thought "you and I"
the answer lingers in the sand
show me the way as the story unfolds
love is remote
show me the way to the temples of gold
across the universe
when day and night converge
and whisper my name till I fall asleep
tell me little lies
tell me once again it's just "you and I"

About a girl Roy once knew.
Amazingly sad song. I'm assuming this man's love died. He misses her dearly and remembers the days when she was alive and how happy he once was. "we both had our share in the sacrifice"--> Her life ended, but he still has to carry on life without her. That's wut i get from it anyways. (this be my ringtone!!)
two people falling out of love because of life's difficulties... one of them looks to their wonderful days together and would like to bring that back, however, everything is too late
i dont know why "Temples of Gold" is used as a reference for the lost love. nothing seem to be romantic about it, so i kind of imagine two people (lovers probably) who lost their love for each other while on a quest for the "temples of gold" which is sort of a promise land for them.
i would really want to hear what roy khan was thinking of when he wrote this, it just sounded so heartfelt
Temples of Gold may be a reference to Robert Frost's poem "Nothing Gold can Stay" http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nothing-gold-can-stay/ Basically saying all good things must come to an end. Kamelot has a slightly different approach. Kinda like a remembrance to the "gold" time in his life when he was with his love and everything was seemingly perfect. the line in the song "When day and night converge" really caught my attention and reminded me the poem. I first heard it in the book the Outsiders. In it the author compared sunsets and sunrises to the "gold"...

I first heard it in the book the Outsiders. In it the author compared sunsets and sunrises to the "gold" that Frost is reffering to. Which in itself is perfect for it, after all you can't have light without the darkness and when there is a sunset/sunrise it is the most beautiful time of the day. but it doesn't last forever. The sun must go down sometime. I wonder if Kamelot read that book? it's possible they may have got some inspiration from it.
