When the city of Atlantis
Stood serene above the sea
Long time before our time
When the world was free, those were the days
Golden cymbals flying on ocarina sounds
Before wild Medusa's serpents
Gave birth to hell
Disguised as heaven
Those were the days, yes, they were
Those were the days
Those were the ways, miracles everywhere
Ever they now? They're gone
Those were the ways, yes, they were
Those were their ways
Those were the days, yes, they were
Those were the days
Tie your painted shoes and dance
Blue daylight in your hair
Overhead a noiseless eagle fans a flame
Wonder everywhere
Those were the days, yes, they were
Those were the days
Those were the ways, miracles everywhere
Ever they now? They're gone
Those were the ways, yes, they were
Those were their ways
Those were the days, yes, they were
Those were the days
