Once upon a time in the golden years
A river flowed, a mercy o'er
Rode along divinity when the day had come
That an eagle soared upon its shores
Wings as wide as heaven, claws as sharp as nails
Eyes aglow with fire, head of fire
Mashed proud as kings
All the people gathered to the glorious sight
A feast unknown in Saviour's guise
Not long ago the kingdom
lived
They blessed with waters free
As though their sins forgiven
Now a monster guards the sea
Praise the King
Praise the universe
All for bread
Songs and hymns rehearsed
Glory days set upon again
Coin and wealth to protect the clans
Music plays
Once upon a time when the eagle soared
A thunder rose, a lightning roared
The beast upon its path in the chill of night
Its fire raised
A trembling night
A crowd was quick to gather
The merchants rode ahead
A trap of silk and silver
Upon the creature's head
Ooh...
Ooh...
Ooh...
Ooh...
Ooh...
Monster take
Glory claim
Half a piece
For a feathered wing
Reach a draft
A year's supply
A fallen vale
No king, no good to fly
Once upon a time
The peace now blind
The kingdom's greed
Became mankind
Became mankind
