THE TEMPLE ON THE HILL

[Intro – dark wind ambience] (whisper) I shouldn’t be here… Something in the air feels wrong… Waves crashing far below… Palm trees moving slow… And that temple on the hill… Is calling my name. [Verse 1] Caribbean sun but the sky turned grey Little island silence in the middle of the bay Palm trees dancing but the wind felt cold Like the island hiding secrets never told Blue stripes shining on a temple wall Standing alone like it’s watching it all Steps getting slower as I walk uphill Heart beating louder but the air went still Ocean glowing far beneath the sky But something in the wind felt off inside No voices, no sound, not even a bird Just whispers in the breeze I barely heard Hand on the stone of the temple gate Suddenly the world started to vibrate Cold through my veins like lightning in my chest Something in that temple didn’t want a guest [Pre-Chorus] Shadows moving on the ocean line Palm trees shaking like a warning sign Heartbeat louder in the island wind Like something dark was pulling me in Then the silence broke… Footsteps in the sand… Security. [Chorus – Catchy] Run from the temple on the hill tonight Something in the darkness ain’t feeling right Ocean calling through the fading light Heartbeats racing through the island night Run from the temple on the hill tonight Storm clouds rising in the purple sky Paradise hiding a darker thrill So I ran from the temple on the hill [Verse 2] Down the hill through the burning sand Sirens echo through the island land Voices shouting from the palm tree shade Footsteps chasing through the jungle maze Wind blowing hard through the coconut trees Adrenaline rising in the island breeze Temple fading slowly from my sight But that feeling stayed in the back of my mind Ocean shining like a silver flame Jet ski waiting in the water lane My friend shouted loud from the waves below “Get on fast, man, we gotta go!” Engines roaring through the ocean spray Island getting smaller as we race away Temple glowing far across the bay Like it knew we’d never come back one day [Pre-Chorus 2] Sirens fading in the ocean wind Freedom rising from the deep within But that temple voice still calls my name From the hills of Saint James [Chorus – Bigger] Run from the temple on the hill tonight Something in the darkness ain’t feeling right Ocean calling through the fading light Heartbeats racing through the island night Run from the temple on the hill tonight Storm clouds rising in the purple sky Paradise hiding a darker thrill So I ran from the temple on the hill [Bridge – cinematic] Jet ski cutting through the midnight waves Moonlight dancing on the ocean haze Island shrinking in the distance now But the temple still remembers how Some places glow like paradise But hide their truth behind disguise [Final Chorus] Run from the temple on the hill tonight Ghosts of paradise in neon light Ocean winds screaming through the thrill Of the temple on the hill Run from the temple on the hill tonight Adrenaline burning through the sky If paradise hides a darker will We’ll never return… To the temple on the hill.
