A broken land where statues fall

Silence in the breeze

Cornelius

He whispers soft

In deep dark mysteries

Nova’s eyes

They tell no lies

But secrets they do keep

Beneath the sun

The truth undone

Where man and ape both weep

Taylor wakes from slumber deep

To find himself alone

A shattered past

A future vast

Where human's tales have flown

The hunt begins

The horses charge

The hunted can’t escape

Zira’s eyes

They probed the skies

To see the death of fate

Oh

The planet of the apes

Where truths and fears collide

Savage times

Indecent crimes

The heart can never hide

With gruff voices singing loud

Tales of earth so proud

And deep background vocals

Yeah

Telling stories in the crowd

Doctor Zaius

Keeper of the ancient

Guardian of lore

Sees the scrolls

The truth unfolds

Yet yearns for peace no more

Humans caged in silent rage

Stripped of mind and soul

In this place

The human race

Tries to make them whole

Brent’s quest in tunnels old

Past the ruins of our world

Mutants seek to bend the truth

A flag of peace unfurled

Oh

The bombs’ eternal hum

A prologue to their doom

In the dark

Beneath the bark

Whispers fill the gloom

Oh

The planet of the apes

Where truths and fears collide

Savage times

Indecent crimes

The heart can never hide

With gruff voices singing loud

Tales of earth so proud

And deep background vocals

Yeah

Telling stories in the crowd
