It stands there, on a vast and windswept plane  
A mighty temple, wonder of the world  
To measure time and space and preordain  
The flow of seasons, stories would be told  
A mystery of ancient wisdom’s reach  
Its architects the wisest in the land  
Oh but to hear the shriveled shaman preach  
To get a glimpse, so we could understand  
Fragment by fragment, we expose its past  
When will the day come, when we know at last  
It stands there, on a vast and windswept plane  
Patiently waits for someone to explain
