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
