Tell me of older days
When the world was grey
Tired of its miseries
And sing, sing like you sang
As the children rang
Bells to warn the generals

In the time that's long forgotten
I cannot understand
Your eyes show something that I want to know
But I know that you are so sad

Tell me of summers gone
(Tell me now)
Why the Earth was torn
From end to end
(The skies burning and laughing at mortals)
And cry, cry like you cried
(You must cry!)
When your soul had died
From the sights and horrors
(Those sick sights will never leave your memory)

In the time that's long forgotten
I cannot understand
Your eyes show something that I want to know
But I know that you are so sad

In the time that's long forgotten
I cannot understand
Your eyes show something that I want to know
But I know that you are so sad

In the time that's long forgotten
I cannot understand
Your eyes show something that I want to know
But I know that you are so sad
