D
[Verse 1]
D
They came like beasts who'd tasted blood
E
First a few and then the flood
E2
Coursing over hill and dale
G
Wet paw prints on their bloody trail
D
Return the peace you took from me
E
Give me back my community
E2
Show us the goodwill you were shown
G
But leave us alone
G
[Refrain]
D Bm E2 G
And restore the temple of Isis at Memphis
D Bm E2 G
Yeah, restore the temple of Isis at Memphis
[Verse 2]
D
Their hunger like a worm inside them
E
No sacred place could be denied them
E2
They who talk all day of beauty
G
Call all the plain things dirty
D
Melted holes in celluloid
E
Give me back what you've destroyed
E2
You who come demanding proof
G
Let your God rebuild this roof
[Refrain]
D Bm E2 G
And restore the temple of Isis at Memphis
D Bm E2 G
Yeah, restore the temple of Isis at Memphis
[Bridge]
Bm A G
Make it whole again if you can
Bm A
Stand in the smoke and say some prayers
G A
Wave your hand
[Refrain]
D Bm E2 G
And restore the temple of Isis at Memphis
D Bm E2 G
Restore the temple of Isis at Memphis
