The Story

Spinning another coil of reality’s web
Around dreamless dreamer’s neck
The story starts again

Once upon a time
So long ago
When the world was bright
And the legends were all true

All the stories told in campfire night
Dwell still in my mind

Through the storms and through the flame
I burn within every word untold
Beyond lonesome boundaries of ever lost world
Where the story starts again

The same path to tread
Ere the break of day
Among the lands so pale
Across the dale
Across the valley
I long for midnight starlit veil
Dwelling with still far above
My eighth wonder, the purest love

Once upon a time
Far beneath the most precious gems
Over the mountains of life
The story starts again

Once upon a time
Through the path of king’s name
I lose myself in the storm of eyes
When the story starts again
