Seals And Crofts - Ancient Of The Old lyrics

rate me

On a crisp as bacon morning with the sunshine on my head<br />

From the twilight of the dawning, raised myself up from my bed<br />

Fixed mine eyes upon a favor like no mortal eye, behold<br />

Then I chose to taste the flavor of the ancient of the old<br />

<br />

On a chill as winter evening in a doubtful circumstance<br />

He stopped the evil breathing of a one time's serpent's chance<br />

Old black sea with silver lining, how I long with all my soul<br />

To quaff the mystic fragrance of the ancient of the old<br />

<br />

From a red as amber burning with a chalice in my hand<br />

I know there is no turning, I must now obey command<br />

At last decree has destined, now the mystery untold<br />

Will shine in all its glory from the ancient of the old
