Timeless Tale
A thousand years have flown on by
Like the snowy owl through the blood red sky
Yet still the story lives, still being told
A million times, a million ways, ne'er getting old.
And though we know it quite by heart
Again we watch the world just fall apart.
And we scream at her or cry for him;
The story never getting dim.
Every stormy night we wish we knew the words to say
To wish our siblings far away.
We dream of crystal dreams and magic mazes,
Of monst'rous friends and old stone faces.
Still we feel the draw of the timeless tale-
Through a thousand years we still love it without fail.
Now here's my toast to our beloved theme:
May we remember a thousand years more our crystal dreams.
