Cities Of The World Lyrics
bath in delight, ye four cities of unboundrichness?Being at unbroken peace amongst yerselves,ye all grew great and mighty.Mighty in an era of no war nor stride..How sour and unappealingThe roads between you, roads crossing theworld as you knew it, were peacefulroads..How many a delightful journeyacross those seemingly endless roads didnot yer pilgrims undertake?To worship your now destroyed gods Toteach the four cities the wisdom and thepower of the gods you worshipped..Ah! Those cool pools within yourcities..Allways filled with crystal clearwater, as if it was enchanted by somewondrous spell..How many enlighteningbaths did ye not enjoy ere the end, peopleof the golden cities? How many times didye not leave yer heart's burdens in thosepools, people of the golden cities?Did ye often enough behold the goldenspires of yer kings' palaces?And did ye often enough wonder at thecities walls and it's gargoyle's rubyeyes?Did ye ever wonder at the pictures at thecities walls..The old pictures engraved inthe very walls of marbled stone..Could itbe your gods and their myths you saw..Ah! Ye children of the age of illusion..Yelived in such gladness..Never sensing the aproaching shadow of thefuture..Never sensed ye it's chillingbreath.Ah! Always shoneth the light in yer eyesas it shone forth from every jewel and gemin your cities..The light of the fourcities of the world..
