Those Were The Days Lyrics
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 their ways, miracles everywhere, are they now?
They're gone.
Those were their 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 their ways, miracles everywhere, are they now?
They're gone.
Those were their ways, yes they were, those were their ways.
Those were the days, yes they were, those were the days.
Long time before our time when the world was free,
Those were the days.
Before wild Medusa's serpents gave birth to hell
Disguised as heaven.
Those were their ways, miracles everywhere, are they now?
They're gone.
Those were their ways, yes they were, those were their ways.
Those were the days, yes they were, those were the days.
Overhead a noiseless eagle fans a flame.
Wonder everywhere.
Those were their ways, miracles everywhere, are they now?
They're gone.
Those were their ways, yes they were, those were their ways.
Those were the days, yes they were, those were the days.

damn i love those bells the effect it creates on the song
so colorful
Very straight forward, and I like the bellsa too haha
Absolutely love this song. It was the B side of…Sunshine of your Love (maybe?)
But I confess, until I saw the lyrics in print here, I misheard the line “noiseless eagle” as “noisy seagull.” I’m going to be laughing over that for awhile.
@PHR I too heard "noisy seagull"
