Once upon a time in the golden yearsA river flowed, a mercy o'erRode along divinity when the day had comeThat an eagle soared upon its shoresWings as wide as heaven, claws as sharp as nailsEyes aglow with fire, head of fireMashed proud as kingsAll the people gathered to the glorious sightA feast unknown in Saviour's guiseNot long ago the kingdomlivedThey blessed with waters freeAs though their sins forgivenNow a monster guards the seaPraise the KingPraise the universeAll for breadSongs and hymns rehearsedGlory days set upon againCoin and wealth to protect the clansMusic playsOnce upon a time when the eagle soaredA thunder rose, a lightning roaredThe beast upon its path in the chill of nightIts fire raisedA trembling nightA crowd was quick to gatherThe merchants rode aheadA trap of silk and silverUpon the creature's headOoh...Ooh...Ooh...Ooh...Ooh...Monster takeGlory claimHalf a pieceFor a feathered wingReach a draftA year's supplyA fallen valeNo king, no good to flyOnce upon a timeThe peace now blindThe kingdom's greedBecame mankindBecame mankind
