Ransacked

I heard the whispers from the mountains to the seas
The winds of time they tell a story
If you listen to them patiently then soon you'll recognize
The might of great-king Nabonidus
One day will be stolen from his sight

Biding my time, I will find his treasures
Til then I'll play along with his fake prophecy

Secrets of untold wisdom
Too deep to comprehend
Tools crude but instrumental
Help unearth these artifacts
They're left here for a reason
So great I must confess
Their ancient powers grant me
Right to rule this universe

Buried deep inside the crypt
Lost to time, never thought to be found
I'll have them excavate their trinkets, riches, jewels, and gems

I've heard the rumored secrets under lock and key
The trove of wonders lost eternally
Guarded by ancient beings too frightening for your eyes
Their presence induces a vision of life
After you claim their fabled prize

Biding my time, I will find his treasures
Til then I'll play along with his fake prophecy

Secrets of untold wisdom
Too deep to comprehend
Tools crude but instrumental
Help unearth these artifacts
They're left here for a reason
So great I must confess
Their ancient powers grant me
Right to rule this universe

Amongst the ruins you'll find
The ruins take over my mind
Amongst the ruins I'll find
The key to untold wisdom
I can hear them calling my name
The path to fortune and to fame
The ruins call me I believe
They'll solve this ancient mystery

Secrets of untold wisdom
Too deep to comprehend
Tools crude but instrumental
Help unearth these artifacts
They're left here for a reason
So great I must confess
Their ancient powers grant me
Right to rule this universe

Buried deep inside the crypt
Lost to time, never thought to be found
I'll have them excavate their trinkets, riches, jewels, and gems
Once I've unearthed everything
There will be nothing left underground
I'll lock the precious metals somewhere surely that cannot be found
