Once I had a name, forgotten now
|
I breathed the air in a century of wonder
|
I can hear it now in the darkness of the earth
|
Gorgeous machines, the sound they made like thunder
|
Great gardens drip honey-jewels and bright birds
|
The pageants pass down avenues of splendor
|
Ah, long afternoons by enchanted lakes
|
Upon elephants, so well I do remember
|
Lords and priests and talking beasts
|
Golden calves and telepaths
|
Crystal skulls and screaming gulls
|
Women glowed tattooed with woad
|
Colored mists and amethysts
|
Men were strong and days were long
|
Dragons glide on mountainside
|
Mandrake root and angel fruit
|
Sighing winds on silver skin
|
Creation transubstantiation
|
Unicorns, electric storms
|
Tunes and runes, we laughed till noon
|
Sweet release, eternal peace
|
