[Verse 1]
Long before the age of golden grace
In a frame of time between the sphere of space
I existed in a far universe
Innocent vague memories
Lost in red mists
[Verse 2]
Little fragments of serenity
Scents of grass and sheer liberty
We were young brave little champions
With our sceptres made of canes
Ruling our plains
[Pre-Chorus]
Times I yearn for, never to return
They breach the veil of memory
Waters of black, never to get back
I feel again our sinless youth
[Chorus]
Like riddles of stars, we were lost in a reverie
Told in a song, blown in a melody
Long ago in a time that is no more
Forlorn gone epoch
[Verse 3]
Shades of laughter echo and resound
In a whirl of magic back where she was drowned
As I try to catch and hold their luminous wake
I get lost inside a maze
And no way out
[Pre-Chorus]
The past is alive, it is where I thrive
I hope to see her smile one more time
A euphony in black, when my heart has cracked
I see our virgin ways of old (Oh, I miss you so)
[Chorus]
Like riddles of stars, we were lost in a reverie
Told in a song, blown in a melody
Long ago in a time that is no more
Forlorn gone epoch
Like ghosts in the fog, we are lost in a memory
Pale shades of what we could've been in a thousand years
Long ago, with hearts that decomposed
Goodbye, dear Ethel
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Like riddles of stars, we were lost in a reverie
Told in a song, blown in a melody
Long ago in a time that is no more, oh
Like ghosts in the fog, we are lost in a memory
Pale shades of what we could've been in a thousand years
Long ago, with hearts that decomposed
Goodbye, dear Ethel
