Temple Runner

[Verse 1]
Four AM alarm, the temple's calling
Headlamp on and through the dark I'm falling
Into corridors of ancient stone
Where jungle roots have claimed the throne

Breakbeats echo off the gallery walls
My footsteps racing down forgotten halls
The carvings come alive in flashlight beams
A thousand years of someone else's dreams

[Chorus]
Temple runner, running through the dawn
Temple runner, before the crowds are on
Every stone a story yet untold
Temple runner, chasing ruins of gold

[Verse 2]
Climb the staircase steep enough to pray
The jungle canopy is breaking day
From the top I see the mist below
Preah Vihear's ancient afterglow

Monkeys scatter as I find my way
Through the temples time forgot to claim
Beng Mealea's crumbling corridors
Nature taking back what once was ours

[Chorus]
Temple runner, running through the dawn
Temple runner, before the crowds are on
Every stone a story yet untold
Temple runner, chasing ruins of gold

[Bridge]
The bass drops like a temple block of stone
Ancient frequencies through flesh and bone
Running running through the sacred ground
Chasing echoes of a long-lost sound

[Verse 3]
The sun is up and I can hear the guides
Leading groups along the tourist rides
But I've already seen the secret rooms
Where orchids grow in sandstone tombs

I'll be back tomorrow even earlier
The jungle temples make a believer
Of anyone who runs these ancient trails
Where history and wilderness prevails

[Chorus]
Temple runner, running through the dawn
Temple runner, before the crowds are on
Every stone a story yet untold
Temple runner, chasing ruins of gold

[Outro]
Temple runner... chasing ruins of gold...
