Once, long ago<br />
Before the splendor of light<br />
When unicorn and serpent were beautiful<br />
With the first blazing innocence<br />
Sylvan purity harbored<br />
In eternal precious souls<br />
The balance of the universe<br />
In the chiming harmony of dawn<br />
Exiled upon the ancient paths<br />
Of the brothers Order and Chaos<br />
As the souvenirs of youth<br />
Become the silent laments of maturity<br />
Yet forgiveness lives in dreams<br />
Beneath the black oak<br />
For the sun was given to all<br />
And even Darkness himself should be loved
