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 Aus Songtexte Mania
