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
