I wander through these ancient halls
Of marble and of stone
    Lost inside
    without a guide
I tread these halls alone.

I try to understand these walls
With carvings and reliefs
    Tow'ring kings
    and beasts with wings
I ponder these strange motifs.

I marvel at how great and tall
These pillars and statues are
    They look to the sun
    to count one by one
The days divided by stars

As I walk, I feel so small
These chambers seem to hold me
    I take a deep breath
    and the only sound left
Is the echo I make unfolding.
