Temples Of Gold Lyrics

Cover art for Temples Of Gold lyrics by Kamelot

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"...
